Interesting question!
I can't instantly see why not. Obviously you are limited to just signal and
return (I want to have power on one of my lines also), but that can be
worked around.
All the books suggest cat5 cable. Well, I'm old enough to have had ethernet
system over coax, so why not 1-wire over coax?
The only caveat is that I am no good at calculations and planning where I
have to worry about impedance. Actually, a damn good question, since I am
currently rewiring my network, and could adopt this approach. Better than
the 8-core telephone cable I currently use, I would think.
Keep us informed, please.
