My favorite solution is getting plastic D-15 insulation displacement
connectors from INMAC (or some such place) and a roll of 15-conductor 
ribbon cable. Cut a 3-4'' piece of cable, attach a male and a female
IDC connector on either end, and put it between the drop cable and 
the AUI connector. The friction from the plastic shell is enough to
keep the connectors in place, provided the drop cable is not hanging
from its connector. Keep the ribbon cable as short as possible.
