Actually, any straight-through cat5 Ethernet cable will work between the HEQ5Pro mount and the hand controller. Most network patch leads are stiffer and more unwieldy than the original coiled cable, but there are some nice flexible ones too, if you look around.

The wide-spread poor crimping issue with the original cable is easily resolved by sticking the plugs into an RJ45 crimping tool and giving them a good squeeze.

Cheers
