Are the cables that plug into J1, J2 on the generator proprietary? or can you buy the plugs and make your own?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You can buy them, but be prepared for sticker shock...Are the cables that plug into J1, J2 on the generator proprietary? or can you buy the plugs and make your own?
The cheapest path to a cable is to buy one of the surplus ones, and yes I'm aware they're $550-$1300. There's one in California on ebay that's priced far below value, but the guy won't ship it.I have seen the cables for sale, and yes I felt the shock. That was why I asked about buying the plug ends. I haven't found them for sale...I take it that is also shocking? Are they controlled parts?
You can buy and make your own cables. They are Class L connectors and usually made by Amphenol. The cost is because they are mil standard (had hammers dropped on them, immersed in boiling salt water etc..) and the cable is mineshaft rated cable, super tough. End result is a cable that is almost soldier proof...I watched someone drive off with the cable attached to the vehicle and the stationary generator. Pulled the power panel off the generator but the cable was undamaged.Are the cables that plug into J1, J2 on the generator proprietary? or can you buy the plugs and make your own?
