 There are many reputable mail-order DCC dealers that will have the UP5 panels and also pre-made cables. Tony's Train Exchange, Litchfield Station, Ulrich Models, Empire Northern, and Gadget Tom's are just a few of the options.

DCC/Digitrax UP5s & 6-wire flat cable
Posted by Georgia Flash on Friday, October 16, 2009 9:15 AM

 I return to this forum, again, for some help. Thanks guys. I need to locate and purchase several "Digitrax/LOCONET" UP5 universal panels to 'daisy-chain' around my layout. I need to also connect these UP5s with 6-10ft lengths of 6-wire flat cables that already have the RJ12 connectors installed (because I am 'challenged by using the crimping tool to do it myself).

Where can I get each of these in moderate quantities:, i.e., 6-8 of each? Any tips and/or suggestions that you guys have will be certainly appreciated.  I am "country" miles away from the nearest hobby shop. Thanks, again...
