Davis Vantage pro2 or similar jacking plug RJ11
« on: September 26, 2017, 04:19:29 AM »
Good morning.
I am wondering whether anyone can help me? As a Davis weather instrument owner for the past 19years I am always coming across the same problem and that is the inability in the UK to obtain the small Rj11 jacking plugs for all wired systems.  Surely they are available somewhere?  The 4 wires obviously take a RJ11 4 way connector. Could someone please provide a reliable source for these? I can wait for shipping, so a source anywhere would be a good start.
Thank you

Ebay can surely supply them.

Couple of listings here.

Might also need a crimping tool if not available locally.

Won't matter that the ones above have the 6 connectors if you only need 4.
6P6C can be used on 4 core cable just like 6PC4.

Cheers.

Maplins, Ebay, RS. you need to search for 6P6C. How many do you need, I may have some in my spares pot, just send me a PM and I'll have a look.

I get all mine off ebay (im uk too) they have the 6 pin (temp/hum) and the 4pin for all the others
Yeah, Maplin do not stock them, i too tried months ago, strange cause its the small telephone size
connector and would be quite popular i would have thought

6P6C for temp/Humidity, 6P4C for wind/rain/ etc 4P4C for serial logger but no reason to replace this one other than extending the logger cable via 4P4C adapter

Amazon has them - plugs, sockets, etc. etc.  Just search for 4p4c.
