Aye lass, take each servo, cut 4"-6" off th' end of it's wire, set servo aside. Split plug pigtail wires you jus' cut off into red, black, yellow wires, seperate 2-3", strip each wire 1/2" back. Twist th' 4 red's together, solder, twist th' 4 black's together, solder. Set aside.

If ye be nigh usin' Cat5 sockets, skip yellow part..

I takes me Cat5 socket an' punch tool, punches down th' red wires inta one o' th' contacts, then th' black, then each servo (yellow) control wire..
Lookin' at th' punch-down socket.. socket away from ye, pins stickin up..

8 Yellow 7 Grounds
6 B+ 5 Yellow
4 B+ 3 Yellow
2 empty 1 Yellow

NIGH USIN' SOCKETS -

Take Cat5 cable, strip each end back 'bout 4". On each end, strip n' twist bright color striped pairs, Orange-Green together. Strip n' twist dark color striped pairs, Brown-Blue together. Ya shud 'ave th Orange & Green striped wires twisted an' Brown-Blue striped wires twisted with 1" bare wire on each.

Pick up pigtails, twist red wires ta Cat5 bright color striped pair yer usin' ta carry th' power to th' servo. Do th' same fer black(ground) wires, twist to dark colored striped pair. Twist yellow pigtail wire ta Cat5 solid color wire used ta carry command to th' servo.. Repeat fer each o' th' other three pigtails.. Ye shud 'ave 4 red wires twisted to th' bright color striped pair Cat5 wires, 4 black twisted to th' dark color striped pair, an' yellows goin to th solid Cat5 color wires. Label EACH yellow wire accordin' to th' code.. ya gots ta remember, keep to th' code!! Solder th' all th' wires. Heat-shrink-wrap'em or wrap with elec tape. Tha's the controller end done.

Pick up th' servos, seperate th' three wires n' strip 1" from each red, black, yellow. Twist/solder 4 reds to servo end of bright color striped Cat5 wires. Twist/solder 4 blacks to dark color striped Cat5 wires. Twist/solder each yellow wire to each solid color Cat5 wire. Label EACH yellow wire. Label EACH servo.
