Can anyone point either the thread or where to purchase them from? I'm trying to find a 37 connector one in particular.

monoprice.com for cheap cables of almost any kind, including DB-xx... :cheers:

Winford Engineering has DB37 cables for $10.50. You buy one male/male cable and one male/female cable, cut both cables in half, and presto, you have connectors for three panels. The female end attaches to your encoder and the male ends connect to your panels. You don't have to solder wires to the connector, only to your controls. If 3 feet of wire isn't enough to run the wires (the $10.50 cables are 6 feet long), they have a male/female 10 foot cable.
The monoprice cables are cheaper. I don't know if they pass through all the pins like the Winford ones do. I didn't look at the shipping costs.

You guy's all rock. THanks :)
I have no idea why I forgot monoprice. I suggest them to tons of people for AV wire, can't fathom why my head just blanked out.
I'm trying to get my orders setup today. Debating if on the CP side it would be easier to just make up a connector from scratch or to buy a cable and cut it. Seems like cutting it would be a HELL of a lot easier.

Yeah, I got mine from Winford. Happy with that purchase.

Or... if money is not an issue, you can buy some of those DB-25 breakout boards from Winford and make your life really easy... :)
