ICOM Extension Cable Icom OPC1541 Extension Cable, Command Mic III/IV, 20'

okay for zxx here and you are watching how to make a microphone extension cable for an icon 5200 you're going to need a couple of things one is some rj45 cable an rj45 crimping tool an rj45 connector female to pmail now i can understand if you don't have the connector you can pick that up at lowe's or home depot or wherever you live but the cable and the crimper tool and you should have one of these two things both of these things in your toolbox now you can't just use a patch cable that you can buy out of the store that's already made up on the ends it's not going to work you have to do what's called a straight through wiring job now you can buy straight through uh wires on amazon and whatnot but you can make it for near free and make it as long as you want when i buy rj45 cable i buy it in a big box it's like a thousand feet i bought one box 10 years ago i ain't even halfway through i
