If the connector on the DELUA board is a normal Berg-type header (and I think it is) then
maybe you could
use a piece of (twist-n-flat?) ribbon cable to make an extension that could be routed
through the cable
pan arrangement and then connected to the original DELUA cable back in the rack cabinet.
That might be a good approach. The DELUA end of the cable has a Berg connector, and the
other end has the typical 15-pin D-sub AUI connector with a slide latch. I'll look up
the cable wiring to see if signals that would best be twisted pairs are conveniently
placed on adjacent odd/even pins, such that twisted pair ribbon cable would work well
electrically.
Or maybe I can use the round cable that I already have, with P-shaped cable clamps screwed
down using the screws at one end of the flat cable clamps. There may not be enough
clearance in the tray for that.
