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.
