Boost Converter Assembly
Purpose
This accessory was created to address the issue of voltage drop over the 65 meter cables used on BNSF Cranes.
The output voltage is set specifically for this cable length and is used for any other cable length the voltage would need to be adjusted
Parts required
Enclosure
Adaptor Board (Custom)

Camera Cable (using left over .5 meter cables we have in stock)
"Berg Sticks"
Assembly
Prepare the Cables
Cut the .5 meter cable to 6 inches from the end (face) of the connector to the cut
With an Exacto Knife strip the outer insulation so that ~18mm of the 3 wires is showing
Unwrap the copper shielding from the Yellow video wire
Hold the wires in the following order; RED, White, Yellow and pull the copper shield wire so it is next to the yellow wire
separate and cut off ~6 strands of the shield and twist the rest into one "wire"
Tin the copper wire with solder to form the 4th wire
Using an Exacto know carefully strip the Red, White & Yellow wires so that 8mm of insulation is still exposed (this is important so that the zip tie used for strain relief and contact the outer insulation of the cable)
