Cable Specifications
The cable that connects the FB4 is a standard cable used in the computer industry
for connecting networks of computers. We chose this type of cable for the FB4
because (1) it can carry multiple signals simultaneously, allowing it to transport
both power and communications between the Digital Guitar System and the FB4,
eliminating the need for multiple tangled cables or a bulky wall wart; (2) it gives
you locking connectors on both ends to insure you don't disconnect from the
Digital Guitar System or FB4 by accident when you're jumping up and down on
your FB4; (3) it has a proven track record for reliability in millions of computer
installations around the world; (4) replacement cables are available in a variety of
lengths and at low cost at any major computer supply store.
When purchasing a replacement cable, you should specify a:
Category 5 - 10 Base-T or RJ-45 cable with male connectors on both ends.
If you're unsure if you've got the right thing, note that the RJ-45 connectors basically
look like a wide version of standard US telephone line connectors, with 8 contacts
instead of 4. Cables can also be purchased directly from Line 6.
The connectors on the end of the cable are called RJ-45
connectors; these are the standard type of connector used for
10 Base-T computer networks. So asking for "a 10 Base-T cable"
or for "an RJ-45 cable" should get you what you need.
There is a 1 to 5 grading system for computer network cable quality,
with 5 being the highest quality. Get the good one.
