MRC Prodigy Express 8 pin cable replacement?

[dornier]

Hi,

One of the tabs on the cab cable that plugs into either the controller or base unit broke off.  I've done a search and I'm not finding a replacement cable.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

GP

 They are standard RJ45 ethernet connectors. You will need a crimp tool to attach a new end to the cable.

Hi,

Can I use a standard Ethernet cable from my computer?

Thanks,

 Not sure, what does the MRC manual say? Depending on what signal is on what pin, the standard Ethernet pinout may not work properly.

Yes a standard ethernet cable will work fine.

Hi,

I was able to talk to someone at MRC and you are correct.  A standard Ethernet cable works!  I'm using one right now and it works great.  

Thanks for the replies everyone,

GP
