  How would you do that ? I waited about 2 years before I finally found a 
 BCC02 to connect my mono 'bow to my VR201. To build one with ribbon 
 cable using the 15-pin plugs would be a lot of fiddly soldering. There's 8 
 leads on each end to solder. For color to make a BCC03 that would be 12 on 
 each end. 
Crimp-on IDC.  (Insulation Displacement Connector).
Just slide the flat cable into the connector and squeeze it all together.
Repeat for the other end, being sure that you have the orientation correct,
pin 1 to pin 1 etc.
