NCE Cab Bus wire question
Posted by markie97 on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 10:13 AM

Would RJ12 straight wire phone connection be the correct purchase to extend the cab wiring for an NCE Power Pro system.

Thanks in advance

Hello All,

CSX Robert
Yes.

You definitely don't want the "Reverse" type.

I have had great luck with Show Me Cables.

They also offer 6-pin F-F Couplers with Straight Pinout. Be aware of 6-pin Couplers that only use 4-pins.

Another option would be to add a UTP Panel. This panel can also be powered by a "wall wart" for longer cab runs over 40-feet.

NCE lists these as "Out Of Stock". Check out Mountain SubdivisionHobbies. They have them in stock...NCE UTP.

Hope this helps.
