A non-Mips distributor for the 10-conductor cables is K&H Distributors.
Mips suggest them in their installation guide but the address has
recently changed to:
6800 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center
MN 55430

Phone no. is still (800)328-8515 but the part no. has also changed. You'll have
to call them for that as I don't have it handy.  They once quoted me
$6.50/cable
but when I placed my order it was more like $16 so Mips' $20 isn't so bad.

The difficulty here is finding this 10 conductor cable and connectors
all (?) catalogues
only list 4,6 and 8.

A caution is to check the jumper settings on the Digiboard. In at least
one case Mips
have installed these with the Digiboard defaults  :-(
