MMU3 Cable Extender

Hi all,

I'm keen to mount my MMU3 outside of my Lack enclosure for easy access.  To do this I think I'm going to need to extend the cable from the MMU3 to my MK4.

Does anyone know if there's a ready-made lead that would extend either end of the MMU3 connector cable?  It uses two different connectors but I'm pretty ambivalent which end to extend.

I know the connector types from this post but not sure what to search for re. existing suitable cables.

Thanks in advance,

A

RE: MMU3 Cable Extender

Cut in the middle and solder in new wires.  Heat shrink and if you want, snag some wire loom to bundle the whole thing together. 

I extended mine and used the wire I had on hand, 22 AWG but it seemed a bit thicker than what it spliced into.  Probably not a bad practice since we're increasing transmission distance, but who knows if it would be a deal breaker either way.  

I wanted to use CAT 5e cable that I had on hand, but I couldn't find my punchdown tool, so that idea got scrapped.  

Good luck =)
