Not so...Inmac USA (1-800-547-5444) sells a few different types of 
90 degree angle Ethernet cables via mail order. A 5 meter cable
(part number 1069-1) runs $69 US.

I also have to agree with Dave Olson about the ENP-10 board in a PI.
I've never (yet) seen it stick out further than any other VME board.
