I've seen some 37 way Male-to-Female cables and wondered if it would be worth a shot? I'd connect one end to the DDCS controller, then mount the DDCS breakout board in the driver enclosure. I'd probably want to use a 2m extension between the two.
Most cables seem to be rated at on or above 1A per contact so I don't think I'd overload the cable. It seems too simple, so their's must be a flaw in the plan!
Thoughts?....
