1) The power bus. Use the heavy duty two-wire trailer plugs. They can handle the load over big distances (hotrak.ca routinely sets up more than 100 modules every January), and they are impossible to plug in wrong. See picture below)
2) The control network. Digitrax uses 6P6C telephone jacks (RJ-12) to wire the "LocoNet" together. Check your MRC instructions to see if anything different is required. It looks like it may be a CAT-5/CAT-6 type of connection - but don't take my word for it...!
