Jedi RSM with Waris cable - trying to figure out wiring colo

[Wicho]

I'm trying to figure out what color wires go where on the RJ-45 jack when I crimp it on a Waris cable so I can plug it into a Jedi 6193 RSM head.

The Jedi cable has eight wires on the RJ-45 in the following order: yellow, green, orange, blue, red, purple, brown, black.

The Waris cable has six wires: red, black, white, blue, green, yellow.

Any help would be appreciated.

i've done a few of them that way and they work great, you have to use a very small drill bit and drill out 2 of the holes in the rj45 so you can go out of one and back into the other since it needs to feed 2 pins on the jedi head unit but i don't remember off the top of my head which ones they were. i just remember that splitting the wire in a Y would not work or it would arc our on another pin.

Thanks for the info. Please let me know if you remember the details later on.

These connectors may be of some help to you instead of trying to drill out a standard RJ45

never seen those before but that's exactly what you need. i've just been drilling them out, done about 20 of them that way. email me and i'll send you the diagram i made to do it.

Thanks for the info to Alex663 and HLA.

HLA, just sent you an email.

Ive used them for a few years on networks. The idea behind it is using their special tool which cuts off the excess cable, which makes it easier to run the small wires into the connector. The problem, their tool doesnt give a clean cut, instead it would smash the wires off and cause a short. But, it looks like these would be perfect for what you are trying. Good luck

PS. You can use a standard crimper, you don't need their tool, just trim your wires well with a set of side cutters.
