DaveRoush Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Howdy I am a first timer and having problems with my controller and MP3. I have a USB RS 485. My adapter has a phone plug. What cable do I need to connect to my controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 All LOR USB adapters are RJ45 types. These are not 'phone cable' but are instead regular network cable, the exact type you would use for a computer network. Please note: Just because it's a network cable, doesn't mean this is regular networking. Don't try and connect the controllers to your router/switch. What types of problems are you having?

Jim Hans Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The simple answer is a cat 5 or cat 6 cable. Like Don asked above... what problems are you having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Linburg Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Unless you are using the pro boxes with the built in mp3 director. I believe those use a phone cable to connect the director to the plugs in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandalen Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Dont use a crossover cable. I make my own cables, and my crossover label fell off. Could NOT figure out what was wrong.... sigh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
