The blank plugs, the crimping tool (AMP) to crunch them onto the raw wire, and the necessary 6-conductor flat wire itself, are all available from Graybar Electric Supply (offices all over the place -- check your local phonebook or www.graybar.com). The nice thing about the crimping tool is that, although kind of pricey (around $130 with a die set or two), it can be reconfigured to do just about any kind of modular plug except the big 10-pinners. I've found it to be a good investment because I do my own network patch cables (RJ45 plugs), telephone work, and MMJ plugs. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.
