What cable to use as an extention calbe for the etrac??

[Goldmanjace]

Hi all,

I am making an extention cable for the etrac so I can hip mount. I have the connectors and now I was wondering what kind of cable I have to use and how to exactly wire it. From what I understand, as long as the same wire goes to the same terminal it just forwards the signal and therefore should not matter right? For example if I have blue to 1, red to 2, yellow to 3, green to 4 and black to 5. After all, it is just forwarding the signal from each pin to the pin in the control box.

thanks

you may whant to talk to Ron from Michigan, he maybe able to make an extencion profecionaly done for you, I just ordered one for my Sov. GT. and it is on the way, I should get it tomorrow.
thx.
HH.

How do I get a hold of him?

He is on the forum under the name Ron from Michigan, he sales the 180 meters for the Soverign machines. look under the Soverign and Excalibu forum.

Everything like you said just one wire plus from control panel connector to extension cable connector. You can use two separate coax cables or double coax like Video VHS cable, but they are usually very thin. Try to use similar thickness cables. I saw Coiltek had some extension cables for Explorers or Etracs. Good luck, no point to swing brick in hand.

What do you mean with one wire plus from contrl panel connector to extension cable connector?

Wire is for extension cable connector shielding, but I heart its possible to make shielding by connecting one coil cable shielding wire to connector.

ok, now I am lost. Do you have a diagram or a sketch for me?

Everything is very simple, repeat cable connection pattern like in coil connector and add one wire from control panel connector to extension cable connector. nothing special.

but I am not opening the control panel?

you don't need to open -you have to stick one end wire to control panel outer connector case and another to outer extension cable connector case. Firstly make extention cable and secondly add one wire to connect both connectors case. if you want I can make for you best performance extension cable from two coax cables with some belts system, everything tested in last three years, will never return to factory heavy brick.
