The LHC High Luminosity upgrade program considers an option of using additional cavities, operating at multiplies of the main RF system frequency of 400 MHz. Such harmonic cavities should provide a possibility to vary the length of colliding bunches. In order to supply the required harmonic voltage several single cell superconducting cavities are to be used. It is desirable to house more cavities in a single cryostat to reduce the number of transitions between "warm" and "cold" parts of the cryogenic system. In this paper we study electromagnetic characteristics of a chain of the single cell superconducting cavities coupled by drifts tubes. In order to reduce the influence of Higher order modes (HOM) excited in the structure on the beam stability and to minimize eventual power losses we analyze the HOM parameters and calculate the wake potential decay rates due to application of different HOM damping devices. In particular, the methods of HOM damping with rectangular waveguides connected to the drift tubes, the loads placed in the fluted and ridged drift tubes, as well as combinations of these methods are compared.
