A better "do-it-yourself" kit are the RJ11/12/45 to DB9/25 connectors. They
allow you to quickly assemble a set of custom heads and just use a standard
straight through cable (phone or network) to connect the heads and make it
easy to adjust the lenght. These are typically available through local
stores like RadioShack.
BlackBox does a great job of providing technical support on things like
cables.
