Parallel Wiring of Serial Devices_Best Way?

[ivanjr]

  I am installing dual 10"screens and want to know what is the best way of wiring the serial devices in parallel? With a D-sub on each SV harness do I build a small jumper harness to connect to both units and T out to devices. What are others doing?  Thanks in advance!

Ivan, My solution involves making a printed circuit board (which is a hobby of mine) for the joining of two 10" displays and the associated "stuff", e.g. power, grounds, serial connections, etc. The board is abt 10 x 4, double sided copper, has two parallel sets (3 per side) of 12 pin terminal connectors which, common connections are joined by the copper. All I had to do is cut the wire to length and attach each SkyView to my board. No splices, no mess, no fuss. And complements galore on the simplicity. ;D

Thanks Jerry. At least I can move forward from here.
