[Elecraft] [KPOD] Re: Now that the K-Pod is shipping, (longer RJ12 cable)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Don is correct but, actually, the connector is a 6PC6 male. The "RJ" numbers
refer to the wiring AND connector. So it is NOT an RJ12 cable since only 5
conductors are used.

Clay,

Not possible - the connector is an RJ12.
Pin 1 is not used and should be clipped at each end for best results.
In other words, an Ethernet cable will not work.
