And a fast test is to add a right angle adapter to each end of the existing cable pieces. The average right angle adapter adds about an inch, so adding one to each end will lengthen the cable to 14 inches, plus or minus... Now, I wouldn't use adapters for a long term solution, but it works for testing. Mike WA6ILQ
