Wow, unbelieveable!! After 40+ years of collecting computer bits,cables etc I have NOTHING in the shape of an RJ12 cable with 6 wires end to end. I have RJ11's all over the place. Not only that, I have no sockets I can rob to re-use!!

Grr, trying to minimise ordering stuff!!

@rubber_jonnie I have some plugs for mega leads somewhere, the crimp on type.

I can send you some if youd like?

I need to find them to make myself a new lead.

@PhilC Thanks,that's very generous but I have ordered some. Also fairly sure my crimp only does RJ45's :dizzy:
