Prostreetamx:
I have several different types of 9 pin harnesses that I bought just in case but so far I have found that deleting the factory board has been a better option in most cases so I can get the ditch light to function properly. Only my MTH's still have their factory boards because they make the ditch light pretty tough to rewire without their circuits.

nodcc4me:
When choosing harnesses, Tim recommends crimp type (i.e. Digitrax) over insulation displacement type because the latter can be pulled out and break contact more easily.

Prostreetamx:
I only use Digitrax brand adapter cables on my installs. Have never been a fan of any type of IDC connectors other than the type used to splice phone wire. Some guys use the larger types for feeders but as an electrician, I don't like them. I really like their hardwire to 9 pin cable since it has long enough leads to limit splices. Got a few older engines I will need to hardwire but like I stated above, I normally delete the factory board to make more room and have more control over the lighting.

hirailer:
I use Digitrax DHWH nine pin connectors. They have nice long leads on them.

KPack:
Digitrax harnesses for me too.  They are the least expensive and come in a five pack.  Plenty of wire as has been mentioned.  I save all the wire that I trim off and use it to hardwire the trucks and anything else I might need to do.
