Power and Data Connections
The 8-pin RJ45-socket accepts and retains an 8-pin (temporarily
also a 6-pin) plug. The pin connection is mostly in accordance
with IGC GNSS FR specifications.
(http://www.fai.org/gliding/system/files/tech_spec_gnss.pdf).
An 8-pin (temporarily also a 6-pin) ribbon cable with an RJ45
push-fit connector or an 8-pin twisted-pair patch cable with RJ45
may be used. Suitable cables are obtainable from retailers.
