[QUOTE="B_P_J, post: 76557, member: 22291"] Eddy & the others make some great points, Solid core cat5 breaks very easy, I myself used Solid Core Cat5 for all my Data last year, got some really good distances out of it for a P12s (not known for distance) i got further using Cat5 that the COAX during my testing, so i stayed with this, [b]Let me stress this was for the DATA & - ONLY!,[/b] and how i used it was Green (one core) for the Data and the Brown & Brown/White Twisted together for - (two cores) i ran a separate FIG8 cable (think it was rated 15amp but could have been higher, will need to check) for all my Power + & - and injected after approx every 40-50 Pixels, anymore and you could see the brightness of white fading to yellow, Also make sure those waterproof pigtails stay waterproof, joining them make sure you weatherproof them, i.e. glue filled heat shrink & silicone, i was surprised with how much water managed to get past my joins last year, had a few pixel replacements along the way, oh well i know for this year... good luck with everything for 2016 setup... not long now Jan is almost over.
