NCE Powercab - panel RJ12 socket

[298]

Has anyone tried using something like this (but RJ12 obviously) to provide a socket to plug a Powercab into...? I don't need the full NCE faceplate on the layout and would transfer the box it is mounted in between layouts, but still need a convenient and professional looking socket on the fascia.

 

Having had issues with inadvertently using an aftermarket RJ lead between the handset and faceplate, I don't want to rely on something that might not be reliable.

That is just a RJ-45 M/F extension and there is absolutely no reason it shouldn't work

Depends how it is wired - straight through or crossover...

Aren't these always straight through? Haven't seen one of these wired as a crossover

As long as the extension cable is a straight through it does not matter if the Powercab's own cable is straight though or crossed ( I think that is crossed)  The end result is the same. I know it works as I do the same thing myself.
