This may not always work, as the cable used for audio applications seems to
have different shielding or pinout -- something. I've had difficulties
using some DIN cables for MIDI applications, particularly at long lengths.

Hosa makes a double-female MIDI adapter which can be used to connect two
MIDI cables together. Most music stores out my way (Boston, MA, USA) seem
to stock Hosa products. I keep a pair of these in my "gig box" in case the
stage setup requires very long connections.
