I know someone makes an assembly that fits in series and

But, I can't see an easy way to exploit that.
I'd have to look at pix closer to see if you couldn't make two
(identical) "half terminators"... one for each M-F pair
of connectors...
In other words, any solution *must* have 4
connectors on it
(you can't just take two INDIVIDUAL connectors and solder
the RPAK's onto the back of those connectors (i.e. skip the
PCB entirely!)
Maybe--didn't/doesn't someone like AP miake a cute little "T" adapter
for
probing the signals on a ribbon cable? The details are fuzzy, but with a
couple of those, that might solve the problem of 4 connectors. I suppose
one could just solder the resistors right to the backplane, too.
