NOTE: a RJ12 could also be used, RAYN just does not use Pin 1 white and Pin 6 blue.
Fixture to Fixture connection
The cable for fixture to fixture connection must be straight through cables. The ones you can find at the hardware store for Telephones are cross over cables and will not work in this application.
Works Does not work
The cable need to be ordered form a Electronic supply house like DigiKey or Mouser.

Troubleshooting "Why does nothing work!"
If you have wired the connector as above but no lights are on or go out when you plug in the RJ11, check that the RJ11 is not reversed. If it is terminated backwards the control function of the colored wires will change.
