As you can see, it has 2 of each terminal. The supplied wiring diagram only shows one being used. I have two identical 24v strips that I want to dim together - can I just wire them both in?

    24 volts times 12 amps means this thing can draw up to 288 watts of power.

    I’ve never seen a consumer LED strip that needs more than that.

      I’ve never seen a consumer LED strip that needs more than that.

      I mean, LED tape wattage will vary based on how long you end up needing it to be. If the tape is able to handle the power draw, you could even wire multiple pieces together in series to reach that 288 watt limit.

        Some speaker wire, like 18awg stranded is more than enough to extend to the next led strip, if each of your strips is 40w or so you can run quite a few.

        The strips themselves probably can’t transmit more than double their own draw, but the strip should tell you max length on it somewhere.
