You generaly would use a null pixel at the beginning of a string.

You need to place a null pixel where will do the most good which is the point before you think the data is going bad to give you more distance( sometimes the middle).
The problem with a null pixel is you may need a couple to do the job and then you have to change your setup to reflect the unused channels.
The better option these days is to use an F amp.

I'm really just wanting one pixel (the last pixel in the string) to not be a part of the prop and not turn on, just pass the data.  I had to reconfigure my mega tree and I wound up with a total of nine pixels on my mega tree (spread thru out the base of the tree; the last pixel on every third string of 50) that are in between the strips and I don't want them to come on.  I can cut them out and re-solder the strings together, but just trying to avoid that.  I know this sounds confusing, so I'll take a picture in the morning and attach it and that should make it easier to understand what I'm trying to do.
