======Glossary of Terms====== ===B=== - **[[Bates]]** - usually a 100a or 60a 120v 3-pin stage connector and also 100a 220v connector where all 3 pins are in a line and use a split pin to keep tension between connectors. Prone to arcing, voltage leaks, depressed pins, kick-outs, and all sorts of other disasters - **Break-in** - a female **socapex** connector with 6x male **edisons**. Often on an order to "feed" a socapex run from an Edison ratpac or from a **lunch box** -**Break-out** - a male **socapex** connector with 6x female **edisons**. Often found dangling behind set walls or in the air providing power for lights. Often this is used for dim lines, but can just as well be used for **hard power**. Thank goodness there are [[Color]] standards to differentiate. ===D=== -**[[DMX]]** - //definition required still// ===E=== -**Edison** - See also: NEMA 5-15. See also: **Hubble**. //definition required still// ===G=== -**Gateway** - See: **Node** ===H=== -**Hard Power** - line voltage __not__ connected to a dimmer rack -**Hubble** - See also: NEMA 5-15. See also: **Edison**. ===L=== -**Lunch Box** - a 100a flow-through distribution box with a 10x female **edison** receptacles ===N=== -**Node** - See also: **Gateway**.//definition required still// ===O=== -**Opti** - Optical Splitter. //definition required still// ===S=== -**Saco** - See **socapex**. "Saco", or /sɑk oʊ/ is some funky inverse short-hand of socapex - **Single** - a single circuit 12/3 conductor sjoow jacketed cable with **edison** connectors on both ends. -**[[Socapex]]** - a generitized brandname of a 19-pin, 6 circuit mult that is generally used to run dim circuits from a dimmer rack into set.
