Installing an RJ Connector
Installing an RJ connector on the end of the conductor cable is a
simple task when the correct tools are used. The RJ crimping tool
(Daktronics part number TH-1033) performs two separate steps.
Figure 16: Wire with Outer
Jacket Stripped
First, use the crimping tool to strip the outer insulation from the
inner wires. This does not result in bare wires since only the gray
outer jacket is removed. After correct stripping, the wire will appear
as shown in
Figure 16 .
The crimping tool is then used to crimp the RJ connector onto the cable. The RJ
connector is locked into a special socket in the tool. The stripped wire is inserted into
the RJ connector. Finally, the tool is squeezed like pliers to crimp the connector onto
the wire. This completes the installation of an RJ connector onto the wire.

Daktronics does not include the conduit. Refer to Drawings B-172745 and B-
172746 for your display size for approximate locations for power and signal conduit.
Separate conduit must be used to route:
• Power
• Signal IN wires, including phone line
• Signal OUT wires (if signal is required for another display)
Knockout holes for ½" conduit are located at the bottom right (rear view) of the back
of the display (refer to Drawings B-172745 and B-172746).
For displays with more than one face, signal and temperature sensor wiring between
displays is normally completed using the quick connect interconnect cable. If not
using the interconnect cable, the separate signal and temperature sensor cables can be
routed through the same conduit.
