So far nobody was asking for a longer A-100BC. That's why we do not offer
the A-100BC with longer cables. Of course it would be easy to use longer
cables for the A-100BC if required.

For the A-100BC cable open jumpers are used. The wires are simply soldered
to the jumpers. One has to pay attention that not too many solder is used.
Otherwise the jumpers are filled with solder and cannot be used any more. I
don't think that you will find such a cable elsewhere. But you may use two
A-100BC to transmit the CV and/or gate signal. Simply use free terminals of
one of the bus board pin headers (usually not all pin headers are used). The
upper pin pair is gate, the second pair is CV.

In addition I'd recommend active bus buffers (A-185-1/2) over A-100BC
because of the possible voltage loss if the CV is connected to many
oscillator CV inputs.
