any source for pre-made control panel harness?
« on: December 06, 2011, 09:09:47 am »
Thinking about redoing mine, just curious if there is someone out there making them from scratch? I have seen the pre-made ground harness that ultimarc sales....looking for the other part.

I'm using cat5 cable now and the wires are pretty thin...maybe someone makes something a little thicker? I thought about buying a jamma harness off ebay and modifying that.

I would definitely advise using 22 awg stranded or better. Cat 5 is typically solid 24awg and can very easily break. A simple way to get an already made harness is, go to Jammaboards.com and get the economy jamma harness. Its 22awg for all control wires and the female disconnects are already on. You can then cut off the jamma harness end and either wire directly to an encoder or to molex plugs or something. It even comes with the common jumpers. Its only $10.

Some interfaces such as the Xin Mo from Paradise Arcade or the controller from VIGO come with wiring.   The mini pac from Ultimarc can also be ordered with a harness.   I think GGG also sells the Xin Mo with a harness;

Thanks for the advice, the cat 5 I am using is pre-made 3' sections and these are actually stranded, versus the solid wire in a spool....but it's thin.

I have a ultimarc i-pac encoder, so I may look at the jamma harnesses

Thanks to both of you

Let me know if you'd like some pics because this is the route I went for my newest cp and I'm very happy with it.
