A barrier strip is black hunk of plasticwith screw terminals inset in between ridges that isolate one screw terminalfrom the next. There’s one oneach end of the 960. You don’twant to connect power to this board using the MTA connectors as they use alighter gauge wire and could get too hot and compromise your signal quality. Stranded 14 gauge wire is recommended. You can find this at Radio Shack or autosupply stores. A star configurationis recommended, meaning that power branches out from the power supply to thepower PCBs, then branches from the power PCBs to your modules. This is instead of a series connection,from one power PCB to the next. Nowthat I think about it, you need an extra barrier strip anyway to make this starconnection from your power supply to multiple power PCBs. You can find them at Radio Shack.

I have the 960. Excuse my ignorance, but whatis a barrier strip? What gauge wire should I use? Will it distribute the powerif I just use an extra mta connector and attach the power one from the powersupply to the 960? Thanks for the help. Detailed ignorant friendly responcesappreciated (-:
Thanks

Which one, 900-PCB or960? Assuming you’re addingto a MOTM-900, the easiest way to connect the 900-PCB is to add a barrierstrip inside of your cabinet, andtie off the the power supply and two power PCBs there. The 960 has built in barrier strips soyou can just use that.
