The DH123D utilizes the JST harness connector and comes with the standard 7" long harness. We offer the DH123D with a variety of other harnesses - all listed below. While some NMRA plug harness lengths are for the specific locos listed with them, they can be used for any other application you deem appropriate. If you would like to install your own NMRA plug to make it whatever length you want, order the D-DZ143PK0 or D-DZ143PK1 below.
