WTB: Cable for JP1.3 remote

ClarkJeff · Post by **ClarkJeff** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 6:15 pm

I'm looking for a cable to connect to a JP1.3 remote, Atlas 1056 OCAP. I've seen some suppliers sites listed, but haven't seen any JP1.3 specific cables. I can do either serial or parallel. Thanks!

JP1.2 cables are JP1.3 cables. They are true serial cables. You might want to check out Jherrick. When I couldn't find any source of cable for a Christmas gift, he was able to help me out.

I'd contact Tommy Tyler about one of his new cables. He's the JP1 interface guru!

Yeah, I did, but he said he's only making USB cables now. I didn't want to spend the extra money for USB since I have systems with parallel and serial ports on them begging to be used again...

Thanks!

So search the marketplace section of these fora. DIY sells what you want

I did that, but everyone seemed to mention the JP1.2 cable, but not JP1.3. Being new to JP1, I was also confused by the website text "This is the dedicated JP1.2 cable (not the JP1.x design with a few component removed).", so wanted to confirm which cable I needed.

vickyg2003 also confirmed that the JP1.2 cable is indeed for JP1.3 as well. Thanks for your reply.

The JP1.3 interface uses a JP1.2 cable.

So far as I understand, the interface types are: JP1, JP1.1, JP1.2 and JP1.3
The cable types are JP1, JP1.1, JP1.x and JP1.2

JP1 interface uses JP1 cable
JP1.1 interface uses JP1.1 or JP1.x interface
JP1.2 interface uses JP1.2 or JP1.x interface
JP1.3 interface uses JP1.2 (maybe also JP1.x) interface.
