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

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 =)
