When data flows as follows, can I say, as a title,

"Data flow between System A, System B, and System C"?

 

System A <-> System B <-> System C

 

Or do I have to say

"Data flow between System A and System B, and between System B and System C"?

 

I prefer shorter one, if it is not confusing.

Also I would like to know if the following writing is OK.

"Data flow between System A - System B - System C"

 

Thank you in advance.

A short version is best but yours does suggest that data flows between all three systems.

If you put Data flow between System B and Systems A and C, then it is clear.
