The cable and the epoxy are inside the main cabinet under our AUV bench.
Instructions

  • Make sure you have the epoxy, mold, mold grease/remover, ethernet cord, shrink wrap, soldering equipment, and male subconn that used to be connected to the old cord. Contact @ben-jamming if you can't find any of these things.
  • Cut the ethernet cord, and use the oscilloscope and/or a multimeter to identify each of the wires.
  • Do the same for the male Subconn connector
  • Match up the corresponding wires between the subconn and the cable and solder them in place one at a time. Be sure to apply the shrinkwrap to each connection.
  • Read the instructions for using the epoxy and prepare the mold by adding grease/mold remover to it
  • Place the exposed wires in the mold, ensuring they are as straight as possible and screw both sides of the mold together.
  • Apply the epoxy to the mold and let it sit for the time indicated on the epoxy gun (should be at least 24 hours).
