Hi all- So I bought a cyron media highlighter kit to backlight my qs8's. http://www.cyron.com The q's are mounted with fmb's and the 9 inch tubes fit back there pretty slick. The tubes have a 5 ft. cord on them with an oddball plug which plugs into the system. Since one of my q's is a good 15' away that presents the need for an "extension cord" for the 4 tiny wires powering each tube,without losing the oddball plug on the end.
After trying the one I was able to connect I decided each q needs 2 tubes, so thats 8 tiny wires. Which introduces cat 5 cable- 8 tiny wires in one cable.
My question is then- can I safely do this? is there a better way? I'd like to install cool little plugs so this is all unpluggable. Any of you IT geeks care to comment?
