Can I make my own cable?

Frequently Asked Questions - A Laplink Alternative. Data Tra...
Yes, the pin map is at cable.html. Homemade cables are not as good as manufactured cables due to stray effects (inductance and capacitance) because they are not tightly and controllably wrapped and shielded. Such affects can slow transfer speed, cause timeouts and in extreme cases, can even cause corruption of transferred files. If you want to make your own cable, keep it as short as possible.

How do I make a crossed E1/T1 cable?

web_faq
A crossed E1/T1 cable can be used to loop back an E1/T1 port, i.e. make a GTH transmit to itself. The connector is RJ45. E1 lines are specified for 120 ohm cables, so a CAT-5 or CAT-5e cable (100 ohm) is out-of-spec and thus not recommended for anything beyond lab use. See similar questions...

Can I make my own Grizzly Cable?

FAQ: Search Results - Shop Floor Automations
Sure, but it may not be worth the effort in research, soldering, testing, and cost of parts. The cable is sensitive to interference and signal loss, and is carefully engineered, manufactured and tested. This is a known issue with the Comtrol drivers. They are fixing it. In the meantime they have released a beta driver which we have tested in installs and have agreed to support for SFA customers. Right click on each installed DeviceMaster AIR and select "Disable".

Can I make a data cable into a data/power cable?

Robert Lipe's Magellan (330, SporTrak, Meridian) GPS FAQ
Some of the older cables brought the wire through. If you added a cigarette lighter and an inline voltage regulator to bring the power to about 3..5volts, it could be done. (If you don't know what an inline voltage regulator is, this project is NOT FOR YOU. Connecting 12v directly to the unit will reduce your Magellan to a pile of molten slag.) Apparently the newer cables that are now leaving the factory no longer have this wire. See similar questions...

How can I make my own cable to connect my electronic flash to the flash controller?

Quaketronics Flashkit FAQ
You can modify an existing cable, or create a new cable with wires and a 2.5mm phone plug. You can buy a 2.5mm plug connector from Mouser. Here are the part numbers: The polarity is important! Our flash trigger output is a 2.5mm phone jack. The center conductor (tip) gets the positive trigger voltage, and the outer (shield) is ground. If you can rig this up to your electronic flash, it should work fine. If you are going to modify a cable, cut off the end that you are going to connect to the 2. See similar questions...

Can you make me a cable for my <insert your car here>?

Custom Battery Cables FAQs
If you tell me how long it needs to be, then I'd be happy to make you one. However, at this time I don't have any way to look up how long of a cable a specific application uses. Unfortunate but true. If you know where I can look this info up, or have a book which shows it, please let me know. I'm working on finding some of those 2 hole connectors. I know that someone makes them I just haven't found who. Most guys cut the end off the factory cable and use it as a jumper between to 2 holes. See similar questions...

My negative cable has a terminal in the middle that grounds to the body, can you make that?

Custom Battery Cables FAQs
I have some "double barrel" lugs that work as those middle-of-the-cable chassis ground terminals. They only come in limited sizes. Alternatively, you could get a ground cable with an extra wire that goes to the chassis ground. In other words, if the middle-of-the-cable chassis ground is 15 inches down the cable, get a ground cable with a 15 inch aux lead that goes to the chassis ground. See similar questions...
