(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) Thanks Philo! It looks like a lot of detailed and patient work, but I believe I could ruin a few before I got the hang of it. And the RJ11 phone cables are cheap these days. Thanks for the link. Todd (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)

(...) Actually, I think if you look closely at the NXT connectors and the DEC ones, you will find the latch offset to the wrong side. 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)
