drmoon68 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Received my Pixie16. I am looking for an extension cable or one that I can make myself to make the run from the enclosure to the strand of pixels. I like the connections that everything came with but cannot find them to purchase. Does anyone know where to find extension cables or the connectors and wire that I can make my own? Thank you, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpageler Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Wtih 25ft distance between my pixel controller and display element, I made an extension cable using 16/3 extension cords. Just cut off the female/male plugs added soldered on male or female pigtails. I have screw together pigtails on both ends of the exytension cable so I can disconnect and roll up for storage. For a 125 pixel wreath, I also use the 16/3 cord for power injection. But really no noticiable performance in the pixels unless all 125 bulbs are on at full white. Have been using a HDX brand 16/3 extensiion cord from Homedepot...$11. Since I'm adding a number of pixel elements down the road, looked into just buy a large roll of 16/3 cable but buying the abgove 50ft cords was a cheaper option and can buy them as needed.
