You are right thats why I am thinking about 2. On the ribbon cable discussion I do agree ribbon cable can be fragile unless solidly tied down then they are pretty stable. An approach I have used in building extenders for R&S sig gens that use Euro boards is the same stranded wire type for all pins. Granted all the same color but you can get pre-cut lengths and the wires much heavier gauge as you would want in an extender. Regards Paul WB8TSL
