Title: Data and Power color and pin polarity for the 3-wire pigtail to the Smart String
Post by: JonB256 on September 03, 2012,

Quote

for example, coming off the ssc, i always use
red for +
green for -
blue for data

The 3-wire pigtails that I have appear to be the "New Ray Wu" color setup, and the wire colors are not as listed above, or as shown in the SSC V2 instructions.

In the attached picture, I show the female end. From the key, going clockwise, it is Blue, Yellow, Brown.

I know I can get the polarity right with my own SSCs and Strings, but if I were to "loan" one of these to YOU, what would match your wiring? (of Blue, Green, Red)

Thanks - I just found that myself (for some reason, it is easier to read the Wiki Page and find stuff like that on my computer monitor rather than my Smart Phone screen)

So, for my picture,

3 is Data
2 is Power +12V
1 is Ground

I saved this pix in my phone for reference
The written colors are the original (correct) colors
