This may be old news, but I have only been back on the net for a couple of
months...
The first thing that I do when we get a new transciever cable is remove
one of the washers under each of the posts. This extra 1/16" seems to
significantly improve connection quality.
Sun is not the only company with a dbx connector problem. The only time
that I have ever seen it work well was on an old TI 9900/4. They used a
small dbx (15 ?) connector between the main box and the monitor.
I would prefer some sort of bayonette clip as a standard connector type.
