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.

"Uhh...I didn’t know it was 'impossible' I just made it work...sorry"

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
