I would also like the schematic of the tether port because if only 1 wire isn't used then I could use some CAT-5e cable that I have to make one.
BTW someone on here had long tether cables they were selling from their signature...
I can't imagine a CAT5 cable would work that well - unless there were enough grounds to do some twisted pair style noise shielding. Putting two data lines on a twisted pair isn't going to work for more than a foot or two.
