Subject: Re: Longer power cables?

This is what I use. It's just a 6 pin MTA connector but the pins
extend equally long on both sides. I just piggyback cables together
when I need an extension to work outside the cabinet. I always check
it twice - red to red and white to white. I don't know where I got
it - been too long.

I also have soldered back to back connectors with a break in one of
the power rails so I can measure current. Have one for each of the
three voltages.
