In-Line CCB Signal Repeater


Recommended Posts

Posted

Having viewed several posts with questions about how to extend the distance between bulbs of CCBs, I thought I would share our method to do so. We are using CCBs to outline our house for Christmas with several locations where extensions of more than 5 feet are required. Some locations require extensions of approximately 15 to 20 feet. We didn’t want to waste bulbs as Null pixels so we came up with an in-line signal repeater for the data and clock wires. The repeaters are used in conjunction with 16 AWG 4-conductor speaker wire such that voltage drop is reduced and are used where extension requirements are about five feet or more.

Spaced every 5 to 6 ft

I thought the signal should last a lot longer than that.

In between bulbs they probably can but is just ensures that the signal doesn't degrade. These repeaters also work in between the controller and the first bulb where the signal isn't as strong to begin with.
