I need I talked to make a couple of cables for my AXWRATS lights. The RJ-11 connectors that I grabbed in town are only 4 wire / 4 connector. I talked to Vitek a couple of weeks ago and we figured that it's the middle wire pairs on the RJ-45 that are used, but I wanted to see if anybody could confirm this from experience.

In other words:
Code:
RJ-45     1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8
          x  x  |  |  |  |  x   x
                |  |  |  |
                |  |  |  |
RJ-11           3  4  5  6


For anyone who has rolled their own, is that correct?

The RJ-11 should be a 6 pin version. The specifications are on the RaceAmerica site and on our site as well.

AXWRATS Timing Cable

(the was re-posted due to fat fingers) :roll:

I have the same question as the original post.
The link refers to the timer to PC cable not the timing sensor to timer.

The following link is for the Timing Cable.

Although you could us a 4 wire conductor, a 6 or 8 wire has more substance (resists issues with pulling on the cable) and provides more protection. Be careful in the cabling that you select since the properties differ significantly in the type of conductor and their main purpose. This is especially true of long timing cables where a much higher-end cable is required. Long runs require shielding and other conductor properties that promote signal strength.

Short runs, a good qualify Cat5 will work fine.
