Default CC BEC wiring question...

The yellow signal wire does not need to be attached to the receiver, correct? I have the BEC soldered to the power lead for the esc, and will use a female/female socket to plug the 7950 into the red/black of the BEC. The BEC's yellow wire will not go past that junction, the servo's yellow wire will go to the receiver's steering channel.
I saw a Dual ESC MOA diagram where both ESC'c red wire had been pulled, and the BEC was feeding power to/through the Rx. Since I'm going to push 7.4V to the 7950, I want the BEC wired direct to the servo so the Rx doesn't have that much juice to it. I will leave one ESC's red wire plugged in to power the Rx.
I think I have this right, just want confirmation that the BEC signal wire is only used for prgramming when attached to the Castle Link.
