Tossed these together today from a few parts from Amazon. Now I have a data only command bus as long as I want. @Carlos Coralvue needs to make these, be super handy for people to use any Ethernet cable length they want.
Here is the pinout I used:
* for shorter cables (15 ft or less), you could connect pin 5 up to pins 4,5,7,8 to provide power but not recommended.
Here are the female assemblies I hacked apart: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y46T8H9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
IMPORTANT NOTE: this adapter is ONLY meant to be used with Ethernet cables. DO NOT ever connect these cables to any Ethernet device like a switch or router. These should ONLY be used in point to point applications with CAT5/6 Ethernet cables.
