I think you meant the cable is the same as Radio Shack, just the pin outs may be different. Shop around their are other places to buy supplies for less cost.

We've made all of our CAN bus cables. Get an good phone terminating tool. Four and six conductor flat phone cable and RJ11 4 conductor and 6 conductor terminals. Just pay attention to wire orientation.
