A much more elegant solution would be to order a longer cable from the
manufacturer as I did.

	DuPont Corporation
	Connector Systems
	515 Fishing Creek Road
	New Cumberland, PA  17070


Order the following:

	81610-001  Convergent Assembly but to extend 10 feet
		   color = white

I forgot to specify the color on one order and got black.  My quote
was for $20 each in small (~10) quantities.  No, I don't have any more
left.
