3. I assume you have to make up your own custom cable by using an RJ-45 end and then just running the conductors where they need to go?

Thanks
1. Definitely bring along a diagram with you to explain to your inspectors what this is.

2. I didn't have experience with it personally, but I heard lots of anecdotal evidence that this was the go-to solution for vibration-related radio power issues for many teams last season.

3. Yup. It's essentially making a custom/more compact version of one of these cables: https://www.adafruit.com/product/435. There are several available on Amazon as well, if you want to avoid making your own cable.
