Pair two of these adapters at each end of a CAT5 run to interconnect distant cab bus panels — perfect for big basement layouts where pre-made CAT5 cables are much cheaper than long custom RJ12 runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-wire RJ12 (standard NCE cab bus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-pin RJ45 (CAT5 \/ CAT5e \/ CAT6 patch cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-run cab bus extensions using off-the-shelf network cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePair with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two adapters needed for a CAT5 interconnect (one at each end)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNCE part:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5240235 (Walthers 524-235)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use straight-through (not crossover) CAT5 patch cables between the two adapters.
