WTB: Pigtails for smart strings
« on: November 27, 2012, »
I need to replace some pigtails for some of my flex strips.  Does anyone have any they would be willing to sell?  They are available in the DLA store, but I would like to try and get them here by Friday so I can replace them this weekend.  I need 5 of them.  Thank you.

Why couldn't we just use the four pin waterproof connectors from Ray.  Just solder the three power together to one lead and the same with the ground the data and data ground.  This would completely eliminate the cat 5 pigtail.

I have four pin connectors. Let me know if these will work for you.

Because that would double the work and add to the cost.  Doing that would now require all of the CAT5 cables that we use to connect the SSC's be modified to add the 4 pin connector in place of the RJ45.  Little if any time would be saved on the SSC or DSC build because you would still need to add a pigtail to the controller.  It would just be a different one.
