Hi all, this is my first post in this section.

Last night we installed a Belkin Rack Mount Keyboard/LCD/KVM unit into our new server rack (this unit).

It uses high density 50 pin SCSI-2 connectors to attach to the KVM (2 machines per connection). Unfortunately the unit is so deep that we can't close the rear door with the cables plugged in.

So, I am trying to source either an "L" shaped Male/Female Adapter or an extremely shallow male connector on a Male/Female extender cable of some type.

I seem to recall seeing some metal adapter/extenders at some point in the past but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shorty

Thanks for that link, I'll keep it in my bookmarks. Unfortunately they didn't have what I need but they have a bunch of other stuff that I might in the future.

Curious how deep of a rack you have.  Where I used to work, we had to buy extensions for a couple racks to increase the depth.  I can remember when we thought 24" deep was plenty, then we needed 30".  Now I see they are making 42" deep server racks.

Hmmm, that may be an option with a Female/Female adapter. Hopefully the extended cable length won't effect the video.

The new rack has about 34" of useable space inside. XRack Pro

Ordered a bunch of stuff from them before... not sure if they have what you want though.

we have one of the 42" apc netshelters here. at first i thought it was way too big, but the extra space at the rear really has come in handy. i still think it's too big, but at least i feel better about it.
