Adapter, RJ45 to DB-9m
This is a configurable adapter that can be used to connect the Oudie Power/data cable to a variety of soaring instruments. One is included in the box with the Oudie. Simply push the pins into the receptacles on the DB-9m connector and snap the connector into the housing. Female RJ45 connector connects to the Oudie Power/data cable.DB-9m (male) connector for soaring instrument, This adapter can be used to connect the Oudie to a Cambridge GPS-NAV or 302 (see details below).
Important Note: Make sure the unused wires cannot short together. Cutting them off is not good enough. I recommend putting shrink tubing over the connectors on the unused pins. That way they can't short and will be available for future use.
RJ45 to DB-9m Adapter Wiring
- White or Grey wire (1): +12V
- Brown wire (2): +12V
- Yellow wire (3): not used
- Green wire (4): not used

- Black wire (6): transmit from Oudie
- Orange wire (7): ground
- Blue wire (8): ground
Connections for Cambridge 302 or GPS-NAV or Borgelt PDA_PS
Note: The 12V power leads on the cable must be powered. The 5V power from the 302 or GPS-NAV is not used.
- Red wire > Pin 2 (GPS transmit, Oudie receive)
- Black wire > Pin 3 (GPS receive, Oudie transmit)
- Orange wire > Pin 5 (ground)
Connections for LX160si or LX1600 or LX1606 or LX7007
Note: The 12V power leads on the cable must be powered. The 5V power from the LX160si or LX1600 or LX7007 is not used.
- Red wire > Pin 3 (GPS transmit, Oudie receive)
- Black wire > Pin 4 (GPS receive, Oudie transmit)
- Orange wire > Pin 1 (ground)
Connections for PowerFLARM Core
Note: The Oudie power/data cable's RJ45 connector can be connected directly to the PowerFLARM Core. However, the RJ45 port will probably used for connection to the remote FLARM display. This adapter makes it possible to connect to the PowerFLARM Core's DB-9f port.
Note: The 12V power leads on the Oudie power/data cable must be powered.
This adapter and he connections below can also be used to connect an LXNAV S7 to the PowerFLARM using an LXNAV S7-GPS-PF cable.
- Red wire > Pin 2 (FLARM transmit, Oudie receive)
- Black wire > Pin 3 (FLARM receive, Oudie transmit)
- Orange wire > Pin 5 (ground)
- Brown wire > Pin 7 (+12V for powering the PowerFLARM Core - IMPORTANT: Provide power to the Core through either the RJ45 connector or the DB-9f connector - not both. If the Core is powered using the RJ45 port, do not connect this wire.)
Connections for LX8000, LX8080 and LX9000 PC Cable
These connections make it possible to connect the Oudie power/data cable to an LXNAV LXNAV-LX5PC cable that is connected to the round, 5-pin Binder connector that is on the wiring harness of an LX8000, LX8080 or LX9000.
- Red wire > Pin 2 (LX9000 transmit, Oudie receive)
- Black wire > Pin 3 (LX9000 receive, Oudie transmit)
- Orange wire > Pin 5 (ground)
Connections for PowerFLARM Core and Butterfly FLARM Display
Below are the connections for using this adapter to connect a Butterfly FLARM Display to a PowerFLARM Core's DB-9f port
- Red wire > Pin 2 (FLARM transmit, Oudie receive)
- Black wire > Pin 3 (FLARM receive, Oudie transmit)
- Green wire > Pin 5 (ground for Butterfly FLARM Display)
- Yellow wire > Pin 9 (+3V power for Butterfly FLARM Display)
Connections for Borgelt B50
Note: The 12V power leads on the cable must be powered. The cable will not communicate if it is not powered.
- Red wire > Pin 4 (B50 transmit, Oudie receive)
- Black wire > Pin 6 (B50 receive, Oudie transmit)
