What it is: breakout that splits one Pixel Data + Power Cable (NL8) into the two NL4 circuits it serves. Two 18/3 SOOW cables, one per NL4 leg, both landing in ONE NL8 cable connector (NL8FC). There is no NL8 stub: each cable runs straight from the NL8 to its NL4. The NL8 side mates the Pixel Data + Power Cable through an NL8 barrel. Same colors in both cables: WHITE = V+, GREEN = SPI data, BLACK = GND. It is the NL8 rack panel (NL8MPR, two SPI outputs on 2x 18/3 SOOW) mirrored onto two ropes.
Tails (Kenny, Sep 9): OUTPUT 1 = the LONG 8 ft tail. OUTPUT 2 = the SHORT 2 ft tail. On the BEA pylons the NL8 trunk lands at the BOTTOM arm: OUTPUT 2 (2 ft) feeds the bottom run right there and OUTPUT 1 (8 ft) rises one arm (5 ft 5 in) to the middle run. Audience: the NL8 lands at AUD2, OUTPUT 2 onto AUD2, OUTPUT 1 plus the 10 ft NL4 jumper up to AUD1. Each tail gets its own label, OUTPUT 1 or OUTPUT 2; nothing else differs.
| Cable | Wire | NL8 pole (cable side) | NL4 tail | NL4 pin | Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cable 1 | White | 1+ | OUTPUT 1 (8 ft, long) | 1+ | V+ (+24V) |
| Cable 1 | Green | 1− | OUTPUT 1 (8 ft, long) | 1− | SPI DATA 1 |
| Cable 1 | Black | 2− | OUTPUT 1 (8 ft, long) | 2− | GND |
| Cable 2 | White | 3+ | OUTPUT 2 (2 ft, short) | 1+ | V+ (+24V) |
| Cable 2 | Green | 3− | OUTPUT 2 (2 ft, short) | 1− | SPI DATA 2 |
| Cable 2 | Black | 4− | OUTPUT 2 (2 ft, short) | 2− | GND |
| — | no wire | 2+ / 4+ | — | 2+ (both tails) | NOT IN USE. No wire, no jumper |
OUTPUT 1 · NL8-NL4 2x 18/3 SOOW · SPI Splitter · info@kg3.io on the 8 ft tail OUTPUT 2 · NL8-NL4 2x 18/3 SOOW · SPI Splitter · info@kg3.io on the 2 ft tail. Same P-touch label, only the output number differs. BLACK 24 mm tape, white text, one wrap, clear shrink over it (18/3 SOOW is 9 mm OD: 1/2 in clear 2:1), 9 in from the stripped end, on BEFORE the NL4 goes on. No label on the NL8 end.
