RS-485, from what I understand, is a very reliable protocol. Wikipedia
shows that its range is up to four-thousand feet. Daisy chaining from
one dimmer rack to another is AFAIK a pretty standard practice.

"The recommended arrangement of the wires is as a connected series of
point-to-point (multidropped) nodes, a line or bus, not a star, ring, or
multiply-connected network. Ideally, the two ends of the cable will have
a termination resistor connected across the two wires."
