Yaesu G5500 Rotor to Green Heron Az/El Controller

The Primary Station for the N1ASA ARISS contact, happening sometime in the spring of 2016, uses a Yaesu G-5500 Az/El Rotor and a Green Heron RT-21azel Az/El Controller.

While Green Heron supplies fine documentation including the pinouts of both devices, they understandably don’t have a lot of detail on the connectors in use.  I suppose the connector fairies come in at night and attach the connectors to the cables.

Anyway, in the interest of full documentation, should something pop up during our ARISS contact, here is complete documentation on the connectors and cables used.  The two cables fabricated to the above document work just fine.
