I just spent a small fortune on my initial avionics stack. Right now I'm just trying to get in the air, but I'm sure down the road I will be adding a second Skyview display to the panel. I want to pre-wire the panel for dual displays now, while it is easier. Connecting the SV's via their Network cable (9-pin D-sub) is simple, but on the big 37 pin D-sub there are many signals that need to be shared (serial lines for GPS, data acquisition, ELT, Transponder, lines for future audio support). The Skyview Network splitter cable has signal lines coming together at a D-sub connector pin. I'm wondering if this method would be the best way for the signals on the larger 37 pin connector. Looking at the small machined D-sub pins, it is a very tight fit to get the 2 wires wedged in there together. Other options would be to use some sort of termial block with Faston connectors to split and share these signals.
Anyone already dealt with this issue? Pictures would be helpful. I'm a newbie when it comes to wiring.
