SmartString Rectangle Module Specifications

[dmoore]

I'm trying to get exact specs for the rectangle string pixel modules here:

What I'm looking for is:

* Overall length of the module itself
* Width of the module excluding the mounting tabs
* Wire spacing between the edge of one pixel module to another

Thanks!

Greetings,,,

The modules are 3+" in length, just barely over.  The width is 11/16".  The spacing is just over 3", depending on how you stretch the cable.

I'm using 3" for length and spacing, and that's close enough for my needs.  You could always carve a little plastic off the ends if needed.  And, of course, the cable is actual 3 wire, not 4.

The picture on the site shows the tabs on the sides.  Mine has tabs on the ends.

First of all the picture shown in the item linked to is incorrect - these are 3 wire - not four.  ( I know this because if I go to page 4 I can see my name in the order list.)   Assuming that you want the dimensions of the RJ-approved three-wire rectangles:
Without overly stressing the wires between rectangles -
rectangle with tabs - 3 3/4"
rectangle w/o tabs - 3"
tabs - 3/8" each
distance between rectangles - 3" perhaps slightly more if you really stretch the wires
leading edge of first rectangle body  to the leading edge of second - 6 1/4"

If you need pix let me know!
