What is the name and use of this?
P14 Motor Fly Cable - goes from motor distro to motor for power and control.
It is a multi-pin connector that typically has 14 pins, and it is used to carry both power and control signals.
Turnbuckles can finely adjust the tension of cables in many AV applications:
- Projector and Screen Mounting.
- Live Event Backdrops.
Spigoted truss
A spigoted truss is a type of heavy-duty truss system characterized by its unique connection method using steel spigots.
Key features and benefits:
- Fast and easy assembly: Unlike traditional bolt-together trusses, spigoted trusses use pins inserted into pre-welded sleeves (spigots) at the end of each tube.
- The steel spigots provide a secure and rigid connection with minimal deflection, even under heavy loads.
Grapple
The Grapple allows you to make inline 90 degree connections between similar trusses anywhere along a perpendicular primary truss. The load capacity of the inline truss will carry 75 percent of the manufacturer’s load rating and must be supported at both ends.Cantilevering of truss is not recommended.
not to be confused with a gripple which can used to bind aircraft cable instead of a nico press and sleeves
this stuff is called - used for hanging lights in a tree .. sometimes with a MEGA CLAW and cross bar.
UNISTRUT
Verilock
allows you to slide over aircraft cable like a gripple and lock in.
Tomcat Pickup Bar
This thing attaches to the truss via the pipe coupler (cheeseborough) and then the motor attaches to the other side removing the need for gacflex and alowing one to mount the motor higher.
The downside is you cant maneuver the gacflex to balance out the truss if it’s not weighted evenly.
GT Truss is also called this …
HUD Truss
GT = ground truss
HUD = hang under down truss
used to bind aircraft cable instead of a nico press and sleeves
gripple
(not to be confused with a grapple, which allows truss to terminate perpendicularly to any other truss anywhere on that truss without using a corner block)
GAC stands for
galvanized aircraft cable
how u put on a harness … notice the leg straps are on the bottom
