| | | | | (...) The converter cables have been publicly known for a while. However, they are still unavailable for individual purchase from LEGO Education, unlike the rechargeable battery which is available to purchase separately. (19 years ago, 9-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

|
| | | | | | | (...) I’ll throw one more suggestion on top of that. Take a standard LEGO cable, cut it in half, and put a standard adaptor on the end (such as a RJ11). One LEGO cable can be used to produce two adaptor cables. From there you can create all the (...) (19 years ago, 10-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

They would be wonderful through a technic turntable. But all of these gizmos I've seen on the web have only 4 (...) (19 years ago, 10-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | | | | (...) Alas, I've only seen the phone ones. I used one through a turntable with the RCX cables, but of course that's only two wires. (Actually I used all four wires and basically sent two RCX cables through the one "detangler"). I would imagine they (...) (19 years ago, 10-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

|
| | | | | | | | (...) My understanding from reading some of the posts that the connector NXT uses is a non-standard RJ-esque connector. It is not RJ11 or RJ45 but some new connector. Not an electrical engineer myself, I do not know if this connector is even (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | | (...) Yep, I can confirm (finally, now that it's past May 1). It is a modified RJ12 connector (RJ-12 is 6 wire phone cord connector). The wiring and the jack size is the same, but the little lock piece that sticks up on the connectors is offset and (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | | Hi, the connector name is RJ-12 DEC 6P6C key it is usually used in telephony. You can find this in the link below. (URL) I found the crimping tool here (URL) this helps. Best regards Gustavo Santiago de Chile (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

There are many of us that have been looking for these connectors for some time now, and it seems all the existing (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
