DCC Wiring

Buying ready-made LocoNet cables in fixed lengths means every run is either too short or leaves a loop of slack under the benchwork. The Digitrax LNCMK is the alternative: fifty feet of LocoNet cable, a crimper, twenty RJ12 plugs and an LT1 tester, so you make every cable the exact length that run needs and check it works before you staple it up.

What's Included Item Qty LocoNet cable 50 ft Crimper tool 1 RJ12 6-conductor plugs 20 LT1 LocoNet tester 1 Features 50 ft of LocoNet cable - enough for a substantial layout, cut to whatever lengths you actually need. Crimper tool included, so there is no separate tool to buy and no improvising with pliers. 20 RJ12 6-conductor plugs - ten cables' worth of ends, with spares for the ones you get wrong while learning. LT1 tester included to confirm each cable is good before it disappears under the layout. A bad LocoNet cable is one of the most frustrating faults to chase after the fact. Works for LocoNet in any scale - the cable and connectors are the same throughout a Digitrax system. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number LNCMK Product Type LocoNet Cable Maker Kit Scale All scales Cable 50 ft, 6-conductor flat Plugs 20 x RJ12 6-pin Tools Crimper and LT1 tester included Makes Custom-length LocoNet cables Condition New FAQ Is it cheaper than buying made-up cables?Over a layout of any size, yes - and the bigger win is fit. Every run comes out the right length instead of leaving coils of slack to cable-tie out of the way. How hard is it to crimp LocoNet cable?Straightforward once you have done two or three. LocoNet uses 6-conductor flat cable with the connectors reversed end to end; the instructions cover the orientation, and the LT1 tester tells you immediately if you got it wrong. What does the LT1 tester do?It confirms a finished LocoNet cable is wired correctly, and it also tests decoders. Having it in the kit means you can check each cable on the bench rather than discovering the fault after installation. How many cables will 50 feet make?That depends entirely on your runs, but there are 20 plugs in the kit - ten cables' worth of ends - which is the practical limit before you need more connectors.

The Digitrax LNC82 is a 2-pack of 8-foot LocoNet cables — the standard RJ12 6-conductor cables you need to wire up a Digitrax DCC system. Use them to connect throttles to UP5 panels, link LocoNet peripherals (BDL16, BDL168, DS64, etc.), or extend a LocoNet bus across your layout. Two cables in every package. Looking for more DCC wiring and accessories? Browse our Electronics & Wiring and DCC Decoders collections. Features 2 cables per package — 8 feet long each. RJ12 6-position / 6-conductor (6P6C) plugs on both ends — matches every Digitrax LocoNet jack. Flat ribbon cable construction — runs neatly along benchwork edges. Works with all Digitrax DCC systems — Zephyr, Super Empire Builder, Super Chief, DCS210, DCS240, etc. Length sufficient for typical throttle-to-panel runs and panel-to-panel hops on home layouts. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number LNC82 Type LocoNet cable — RJ12 6P6C Length 8 feet each Quantity 2 cables per pack Plug RJ12 6-position 6-conductor (6P6C) on both ends System Digitrax LocoNet Condition New — sealed UPC 652667180061 FAQ Are these standard phone cables?They look similar, but Digitrax LocoNet uses 6-position 6-conductor (6P6C) wiring, not the 6P4C found in many phone cables. Use these LocoNet-spec cables to avoid wiring issues — or any high-quality 6P6C cable will work. What can I connect with them?Throttles to UP5/UP6 plug-in panels, BDL16/BDL168 detection boards to the LocoNet bus, DS64 stationary decoders, SE8C signal decoders, PR4 USB interfaces, and any other LocoNet peripheral. Will 8 feet be long enough?For most home layouts, yes — 8 feet covers a typical throttle reach from one UP5 panel to another. For larger layouts you may need longer cables (Digitrax LNC25 is 25 ft) or chain multiple LNC82s through UP panels. Do they work with non-Digitrax DCC systems?No — LocoNet is Digitrax's proprietary throttle bus. NCE, MRC, and other DCC systems use different cab buses and connectors.
