To remote my FC-40 I use Ethernet cables
with DIN to RJ adapters. I bought the male and female DIN connectors with short
pigtails from W4RT and the Ethernet cables and connectors from Home Depot. The
RJ connectors come in a small plastic box for surface mounting on a wall, like
the old wired phone jacks. I just ran the DIN connector wires to the screw
terminals in the RJ connector boxes.

I have used two 100’ cables with a
double female RJ connector between them and it worked great at 200’ total
length. Just watch out for all the swapping of wires in Ethernet cables –
it’s been too long since I built mine and I don’t remember if the
wires cross.

I want to purchase a fc40 but need to locate it 30-40
feet away from the shack outside. What are you guys using to extend the 15
meter long cables?
