U360 - 10 pin Wiring Harness - Question.

That's what I do, though I run the wires from the U360 into a 12-Position European-Style Terminal Strip.

At one point, I tried this too, but it seemed like when I "folded" the wire, a lot of times I ended up breaking the strands of wire at the fold point, even when I was really trying to be "delicate" during the folding.
My current idea that I have is to make a small connector that has the 2x5 .1 pitch on one side, and a larger pitch'ed 2x5 connector on the other side.
It would look something like those SCSI connectors that convert from a small connection to a larger cable assembly.
I just need to figure out what parts I would need to do something like this.
(I am a software guy, not a hardware guy, so this is something new for me)
Yes, this is probably overkill for something so trivial, but hey, its kind of interesting for me to do, so what the heck!

Hmm, the fold and twist never gave me a problem.

Perhaps You could use a DB9 header. I thought about using them originally, but in the end I only salvaged the 10-pin headers from them. It's funny that you mention the SCSI; I am using an SCSI CN50 ribbon cable connector in my control box now for my U360's and everything else. I split the cable and routed half of it to my buttons and a USB hub, and then 10-wires over to each U360 I did it this way so I may connect my U360s to my controller hacks or to the USB on my PC, without digging around in the box to switch the wires around.
