If you don't need too much current over the cable than RJ45 is a good connector. The pcb mounted connector should be available at most electronic shops and you can just use finished network cables to connect the device. But be sure to use network cables which are specified for 1000MBit because 10/100MBit only needs 4 wires and therefore many old cables won't have all the 8 wires. ;) Ciao, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
