Extend Inverter Remote with Phone Cord?
Merry Xmas everyone. So the question is if the inverter remote on/off is on one of those phone line looking cords with the same sort of jack but is too short, how can you add phone line to make it lo...

Thanks for the help. I have been looking at some of my Ethernet cables and I am really puzzled now.
The two ends have the same wire colours in order left to right when looking at them the same way from top or bottom. So they are reversed. But it doesn't matter which end you stick in the modem or computer! Driving me nuts. I don't know what happens inside an end to end coupler. Guess it doesn't matter, no idea.
The way I would do an "insert" would be to make sure the same wires in the remote are rejoined/ meet up so whatever is going on reversed or not from one end to the other of the remote's cable, it would still be the same way with the insert.
I also see that different Cat5 cables have different colours going left to right so there is no code for that it seems.
This may be more trouble than it is worth! All I want is to get the remote to where the microwave is at the back of the trailer. The inverter is up front with the batteries. Now the remote is mounted inside the trailer but about half way, so you have to walk over to turn the inverter on when wanting to use the MW and then back to turn it off. So it would be handy to have the remote right there beside the MW.
Maybe I should go for one of those remotes like you can get to turn on a ceiling fan since I am getting so lazy :)
