Control Cable for G5500
I am looking for a ready made cable from the G5500 control box (the 8 pin connector) to a FoxDelta controller. I need it already soldered on the 8 pin side and bare cable on the other end. I need the cable to be no less than 1 foot long. Is there somewhere to purchase one? I have the connectors but do not want to play with soldering anymore. I have been sitting on this for a year now and time to get the controller working.

Bruce,
This might be what you're looking for.

Darn, someone suggested purchasing a cable from AMAZON. As well as other sources. Have one on the way. I think I was over thinking the problem and looking for a cable specific to the controller instead of just a cable.

Bruce, this is the cable I bought for that very purpose. I cut off one connector and stripped the wires.
