Connecting Signal to the Data Distributor
Signal from the controller computer must first route to the data distributor and then to the column
directors in the display. This signal then travels through fiber optic cable, which should run
through rigid, metal conduit, as opposed to flexible conduit.
Fiber optic cable from the
controller computer connects to
the data distributor receiver board
at the J5 (data in) jack. Figure 31
shows the data distributor and the
location of the J5 jack on the
receiver board.
Sending Signal from the Data Distributor to the Display
RJ45 cable from the data distributor must connect to the column directors in a display. Route the
RJ45 cable through rigid metal
conduit.
Output cards in the data distributor,
Figure 32, are responsible for
sending the data signal to the
column directors through the RJ45
cable. There can be anywhere
between two and ten output cards
in the data distributor – it depends
on sign size. They are stacked on
top of each other in pairs.
