It's a little goofy. If you go down through the instructions there is mention of connecting it to the rest of the layout with insualted joiners. The text reads like the table does reverse power automatically, but the images show that it does not - so you need an autoreverser.
The jump cable has nothing to do witht he Zephyr Jump ports. You need to cut off the plug on the end of the Kato jump cable that is designed to plug in to a Kato power pack, this would get connected tot he output of an autoreverse, and the autoreverser fed off the track outputs of the Zephyr. At the end of the straight connector track, you would install the insualted Kato Unijoiners to isolate the turntable assembly from the rest of your layout - it gets power through that jump cable and the autoreverser.

Just purchased a kato unitrack turntable and was wondering how to wire it up to my digitrax zypher DSC51 command center? Do i need an auto reverser? i didn't know if the jump cable that comes with the turntable could be wired into the port(jump#1and #2) on the DSC51. Would appreciate any help on this matter as wiring not my strong suit. Thanks
