[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by johncolley yes-but... you need to use 8 wire, I believe it is RJ-45. so yes you can run it around your system if you find a source for the wire and fittings. don't forget to flip the fittings, one up, one down on each piece of wire. I love the new Prodigy Advance! [/quote] Radio Shack should have everything you need including the strip/crimp tool. The tool was $10 and a package of plugs was $3. I bought a 25 foot piece of the cable and cut the ends off and cut it to length, re-crimped and everything works fine. Like the other person said, pay special attention to the orientation of the wires in the plugs so everything can communicate properly.
