Please check out Dallas/Maxim app note 148. Gives a lot of insight into making things work and why they don't.
<http://pdfserv.maximintegrated.com/en/an/AN148.pdf> Open stubs are a bad thing and cause reflections on the wire, disrupting communication. They can also act like antennas, picking up noise which could be the activity you see on the LED - but not sure what drives it since I couldn't find a schematic for the LinkUSB.

The LinkUSB light will come on dimly all the time with a long cable with nothing attached to it and stay on all the time dimly. The light should only be on when there is traffic on the network. Colin Colin, Are your devices truly connected in series or are there some stubs? If you have a power injector in the system I?m not sure why the LinkUSB light would dim at all.
