The type previously often seen on Chinese spindles is nice and compact - namely GX16 connectors. See my post here:

There are now plenty of sources of them besides. I used them recently on my control box. Watch out for which gender you get if you care about exposed voltages.

Thanks - I'm always a bit nervous about buying into a system that looks good today but is unrepeatable in a year or two. These seem to have been around long enough! Immediate project will use them for 5V opto-isolated connections so not worried about gender.

I use a cat cable with a BOB on the router and the cat5 plug with a lead through on the control panel.
