Partial assembly with Power Supplies, Data Receiver Cards (green), Low-Voltage Wiring Harness and Ethernet cables, and plastic Wire Duct
Assembly with aluminum Cover Plate screwed into standoffs. Cover Plate has riv-nuts to accept each LED Tile's screws. Ribbon Cables (gray) and Low-Voltage plugs (white) poke through each hole, waiting for their LED Tiles.
LED Tiles screwed onto assembly. There were custom laser-cut acrylic spacers to prevent interference between the LED Tiles and electrical components beneath.
Close-up view of one of four Power Supplies with tidy cables. The Power Supply steps down voltage from 120V to 4.3V to power the LED tiles and Data Cards. Power and Ethernet cables were daisy-chained between Power Supplies and Data Cards.
