It's a little bigger than a gender changer, and has one of those icecube
power supplies, but it worked with little messing around.  I have no
connection to this company other than having been asked to make cables
for a co-worker's installation.  Price is probably subject to change 
without notice, but it's a bit cheaper than $245...
