HowTo: Modified 128 Channel Hill controller with 6 channel remote outlets  (anthony childers)



Step 5 : Hook up, hook up, whos got the hook up?

 
i wanted to make connections a breeze, so i decided on cat 5. Well, I racked my brain trying to figure out how to mount a cat 5 keystone in this box, i did not want to do a solder version as in the tutorial i mentioned earlier. so I bought a keystone and lo-and-behold!! it fits very snugly in the wire knockout. I used some high temp heat glue to hold it in place and waa-la. Here is where the led comes into play. I mounted it in the side, (also using glue) and when the cat 5 is plugged in, you get a nice little glowing LED. If the show is in progress, you will see it flicker VERY VERY fast.
