power cable and heat tube

[Helty]

Hey guy,
Where do you guys get your 2 core power injection cable from and your heat tube?

Thanks guys

Heatshrink tubing is sold by Jaycar, Altronics, Bunnings, eBay, etc. Similarly cable can be got at many places. Check out the ACL wiki page for suppliers.

Power Injection cable

Extension Cables: (Try not to go past 8 meter extension cables. You normally degrade signal after 6 meters. This is a complete variable all depends on your setup.)

For the other end of my power injection I use figure 8 speaker cable and solder to the pig tail. (Solder -> silicone -> heat shrink)

(I normally go to a wholesaler as you can get it cheaper) The other side of the cable goes into a fuse block for power injection with the Power supplies ground connect to the controllers ground.

What about those Falcon F-amp signal boosters ?

F-amps are good just a little tricky to source here in AUS. you can get the same result with one of Alans null buffers which is the same thing

Thanks, that's handy to know.

Over that distance, you've also got to look at voltage drop depending upon the number of pixels too.

Thanks everyone for the help

I highly recommend those null pixels from Alan. They are the bomb
