I am on a roll, these are the latest 2 items.
The D4 to BNC cable was purchased for $8.00 at:

I discovered that the signal wire (in middle of cable) is only something like 30 AWG. This is very thin and fragile wire. If you decide to solder your own connectors use the shield wire as a strain relief. The cable is approximately 20" long, it is a pretty good length.
Warning: don’t mess with this unless you know what you are doing!
This should stop those breakers from popping. The power box is an old 4 breaker box. I have each receptacle on its own circuit. The cable I had laying around was a 4/10 AWG. This is good for 2- 30 amp circuits. It can be pushed to 40 amps on each leg. You can use a larger panel if you have a lot of lights. Just know what you are doing before you open someone's panel and start clamping onto the main bus.
I normally keep a few of the more common dual 40 amp style breaker with me. I add a pigtail onto the breaker then clamp onto that. That way I stay off the main bus and don't have to power down the entire panel and everything connected to it. Staying off the bus bars will keep you out of trouble.
