tstageThe rear connector ports on the PCP are all 4-contact.
i thought this was interesting. Does NCE save money by only using a 6 conductor RJ-12 jack for the one carrying track power and 4 conductor jacks everywhere else
at least on my PCP, all the jacks are the same and have 6 conductorsd and NCE UTP schematic below shows 6 conductor RJ-12 jacks
i was wondering why even support carrying track power to another panel. I think it's the ability to have the PCP panel away from the layout and provide power to the track from a distant UTP panel.

Greg,
Counting contacts, all the connector ports on my PCP board are 6-contact. So NCE is apparently using 6-contact connector ports for all connections and only wiring the LEFT front connector port for track power. That makes inventory easier since you only need to track a single part rather than two.

that's why i thought your previous comment was interesting
I'd love to know what sites you are referencing as i have not found anything close to htose prices when I search inline. Granted, I'm not a teenage Google whiz kid that seem to be able to find the smallest trivia in under 30 seconds!
Modeltrainstuff, Trainworld and Factory Direct Trains are the big names I would check.

NCE uses MAP - minimum advertised price. They set the minimum price a retailer can publish on their page. So you can't just pop on your favorite site and check the price shown - you have to actually add the item to your cart and then see how much you REALLY are going to pay.
