Voice Synthesizers

[Klarich, Terry]

The cable used by the dectalk express is not a straight through rj 45 cable.
It is rather DEC's own connector.  The tab has been moved to one side.  I
think a standard RJ 45 connector wouldn't work.  Because, I believe it is a
twist rather than a straight through cable.  And, as stated in an earlier
message, it is only 6 contacts.

If the cable in question is a striaght through cable using rj45 connectors
I would highly recomend going and getting a standard Cat5 patch cable in
the desired length. This will meet your needs perfectly. If in doubt it is
easy. Go to the store with the unit and check it out. The cost is a few
minutes time to find out. The cable shouldn't run more then a few dollars
if you choose grey. A little more for other colors. One option you might
consider is getting a snagless cable. It will cost a couple more dollars,
but is designed so the tab that holds the cable in won't catch on things
and will be less likely to break.
