NCE recommends the UTP-CAT5 for panels 30–40 ft or more from the command station. A 5.5\/2.5 mm barrel jack between the RJ45 sockets accepts a 12–14 V DC regulated supply (NCE P114 or similar) to boost cab bus power on long runs; an on-board LED shows when external power is in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersus the standard UTP (5240207):\u003c\/strong\u003e the plain UTP has four RJ12 jacks only and a 3.5 mm power jack.
