LocoNet is Digitrax’s network communication protocol for their railroad products.
Making LocoNet Cables
Cables are easy to make and are much cheaper too. To do this I’ll need:
Crimp tool for RJ12, RJ12 is a 6 conductor cable.
Plugs these form the connectors for the cable
Cable preference for flat telephone-type cable. I wanted solid but that seems to be hard to find.
Test tool for making sure cables are built correctly
Voltmeter has the basic set of measurements.
