KPA500-K3 Aux cable

Jim Bennett
Just want to be sure nothing has changed from what I found in the archives - I am looking at purchasing a KPA500 and KAT500 in the next few weeks and want to be sure that, if I opt to use my own SVGA cables (actually from CableWholesale.com) that I need to remove pins 1, 6, 7, and 8. Yes?

Jim,

I shudder when you said "SVGA cables".
You need to start with cables that connect all 15 pins straight
through.  "SVGA cables" have several pins connected together and should
not be used.

You have the right source, but I believe CableWholesale.com has both
straight through 15 pin cables and SVGA cables.  Make certain you have
the correct cables.

That's true - I ordered the one noted by AD5X, part number 10H1-20206NF ($7.01 each) along with a couple "port savers" that I'll remove pins 1, 6, 7, and 8 from. This is supposed to be a straight-through cable.
