The Primary Data Cable is the link from the computer to the twin Grinchs. Its a homemade cable that is made from a printer (DB25) cable that we weren't using. Only 4 of the pins out of 25 are used and are grafted onto another cable that is commonly used as an ethernet cable (RJ45). Of the 8 pins of that cable again, only 4 are used. It took some time to identify the wires leading to the correct pins and attach them to the correct wires of the RJ45 since not all cable companies use the same color code. After splicing the cables together, We checked and rechecked to see if it was correct with a multimeter to make sure it had continuity along the right wires and pins. We ran a plastic wire across the joint and ziptied it to give it added strength to avoid being pulled apart. On top of that, a good amount of tape was applied to give it a better look. This cable will be in the house and won't get any moisture on it (unless I spill my tea on it) so it will be mostly safe from harm.
