Emphasis mine.
CAN cables are simply 4-wire telephone cables. The technical name is RJ-11 (it might be 12, make sure they have 4 shiney things in the end). To use them with the jaguars, you make a serial-can cable (don't know how anymore
) and then plug one end into a BLACK jaguar on the side with the funky |o|o| symbol in it. Then you get another cable, plug it into the other CAN jack on the jaguar, and then onto the next jaguar. Note that only the first jaguar has to be black, the rest can be brown or green or purple.
Our team bought an RJ-11 crimper, so we can make as many as we want and we don't have to search long and hard for a 4 inch cable.
