Does anyone know what the wires in the photo are connecting my screen to the projector trigger? It was disassembled a couple of months ago and I took this photo, but now not sure what the wires are. Thanks!

Looks like Cat5/6, where they just twisted a few pairs together to increase current capacity. For these sorts of low current and low voltage controls, you can use pretty much anything. Just need to keep polarity in mind.
 
Thanks dinom! Any reason a stereo "banana plug" won't work? (I have a spare stereo one.) I assume it should be fine.

That´s not a "banana" in the photo. I think it´s a "mono mini jack plug" commonly used for trigger connections. I really advice to use a mono version as stereo plugs can create shortcuts and kill your trigger input/output.
 
Oh yes, sorry, that's not a banana plug! My bad. Noted on using mono version! Thanks guys!
