Title: dsc pin connector?
Post by: salongaopm on October 02, 2013,

i remember reading about a pin connector of sort that was soldered to the dsc board to connect easily a 4 core wire or cat5e. I cant seem to find it now. Can anyone help me find the thread please?

thanks!

There was an attempt to define a standard pin-out for the dumb string connectors:

Also, there is a similar proposal for the SSC-to-smart string connectors:

btw, the SSC-to-smart string info needs to be updated to reflect the alternative pin-out used by technicolor strings.

what is the wire size of the 4 core conductor? I bought several pieces from an aliexpress seller and they look small. The wire is probably 22-24.

I would use 20.  24 is definitely too small.
