I had to chop the wire from my 270 wheel because it's not long enough to route up into my control panel from its location on the floor. Also, the end of it is a DB25 connector, which is too big to go through the opening on my control panel. Anyway, I want to extend the length with a CAT 5e cable, putting an RJ45 connector on one end, and a jack on the other so that I can take them apart when I need to. I have a question about the wire gauge, though. There are six wires inside the cable. Four of them are 26 gauge, but the two power wires are 22 gauge, or maybe 20 gauge.
Do you think I'll have any trouble splicing those larger power wires with the 24 gauge wires inside the CAT 5e cable? I mean, do you think the smaller gauge cable will cause any problems with delivering power up to the steering wheel?
Let me know if my description is confusing and I'll try to make sense of it.
