ELL newbiest of newbie question

Hello all. This is my first post so I figured I'd make it the most rookie question one could ask!

I received my Easy Light Linkers (ELL) from Light-o-rama. Setup seems pretty easy, but I notice they have 2 RJ45 connectors inside. My rookie question is why? I am assuming that the Cat5 goes into one of those, down into the controller, which is receiving a Cat5 from the Showtime Director. Then another ELL is connected to another controller with 1 Cat5 and receives that signal. Am I missing something? Is one of those RJ45 connectors a backup?

Thanks in advance for your help!

(starting off with 4 very far apart controllers and 4 ELLs)

It can be used as a spare, or it can be used to go to a different controller, each jack could have it's own controller on it or it could be linked to a 2nd ELL if needed, then to another controller.  It's there mainly for daisy chaining units together.  If it's not in use, not a big deal.
