Dog ate my Shooting Crony cable.

[brokeasajoke]

So my Beagle (Pete aka Sneaky Pete) ate the cable to my Alpha Chrony. I've read where people have used a 6 wire phone cord but some say the plug must be switched on one side or something. Has any one done this and can confirm or deny what I need to do? In the pic you can see the colors are the same on each end Seems I can't order a replacement since they are out of business. Thanks.

If you don't have the crimpers, for a RJ12/RJ45, to build your own cable, you're cheapest route may be to just to buy 2 of these.

RJ12 Male to Screw Terminal Adapter

Or just nip the end off the chewed end and only buy 1.

I'll check around to see if I have any RJ12's (I doubt it), if so I can make you one.... Mostly do RJ45 Ethernet connections, but that's a 2 minute job to build one out if you have the ends and crimpers.

i have a box or two of old phone cables and such. let me dig some. i also have crimpers i believe.

Or just buy a straight wired one on amazon,, this looks like what you need..

That's a straight thru cable, you can tell by the wire colors.

The cable that Petey posted will work.

Is it just a regular Cat 5 network cable they have at Lowes, Office Depot, Walmart, etc?

that one should work.

I checked my manual for my Gamma chrony and it uses a standard straight through RJ12 phone cable.

 

[brokeasajoke]

Ordered one. We shall see.
Edit: think I'm gonna start calling him stinky Pete. Little hoodlum.

Keep us informed, I have been CAREFUL with my cable(beta) wondering if my phone guy neighbor could help me if I trash an end.

It uses rj12 connectors on the ends. Ethernet network cables are Cat 5 (or higher) and use rj45 connectors on the ends. Inside the the Ethernet cables, the wire pairs are twisted together to mitigate some physical issues with high frequency signals going thru a solid copper wire.
