Connect the appropriate power and signal wires coming through the rear of the scoreboard to
the power terminal block (TB1), as shown in Figure 15. Refer to Drawings A-285469 and A-
285470 for a detailed layout of a 16- and 8-column driver enclosure, respectively.
TB1 has protection varistors across both “signal” terminals to the “ground” terminal. For
more information, refer to Drawings A-285892, A-286657, A-229706, and A-704861.
For signal cable, Daktronics recommends, as a minimum, single-pair, shielded cable, 22 AWG
(Daktronics part number W-1077). Two-pair shielded cable (W-1614) is preferred.
Another common signal communication method is fiber optic
cabling. A minimum cabling of multi-mode, 62.5/125 um, and 2-
core fiber cable is recommended (Daktronics part number is W-
1242). See Figure 17 for the location of the fiber connector on a 16-
or 8-column driver. This method requires a signal converter
between the All Sport console‟s scoreboard output and the fiber
optic cable (not provided by Daktronics).
