Hi, I was wondering if I can extend the 15-pin cable that attaches to the DKC500RW on my MPX1Z. I would ideally like to add about another 1 metre but was wondering if it would be affected by noise causing the notes to be dropped etc. Further, are these types are cable easy to purchase or are they made up. thanks Subhash

Yes, you can easily insert a 9-conductor cable with Sub-D 9 pin connectors between the control unit and the existing cable. Such prefabricated cables are commonly found in computer stores. Mine is about 2 meters long, but I'm sure it could be longer without any loss of reliable performance of my Mark II DC3. In my case, I was weary of banging my knees on the control unit and craning my neck to read the display. subhash_rehan wrote: >Hi, I was wondering if I can extend the 15-pin cable that attaches to >the DKC500RW on my MPX1Z. > >I would ideally like to add about another 1 metre but was wondering if >it would be affected by noise causing the notes to be dropped etc. > >Further, are these types are cable easy to purchase or are they made up. > >thanks >Subhash > > > > > > > >To Post a message to the group, send it to: disklavier@... > >To Post a private message to Todd Muncy, the group's founder and moderator, send it to: >disklavier-owner@... > >To reach our group's web site go to: >http://Yahoogroups.com/group/disklavier > >Todd's family web site was completely updated 012/22/03.

I just double checked the number of pins and it is a 15 pin cable that connects the MPX1Z to the DKC500RW, I'm not sure where the 9 pin cable comes from.

My Mark II has a 9-pin connector. In your case, you will want to find a 15-pin cable with similar connectors (I assume that the connectors are type Sub-D 15), male on one end and female on the other. If you should buy one that is prefabricated, check to be sure that it is wired pin for pin with no pins cross-connected. There is no great mystery here--you are simply stretching the original conductors. subhash_rehan wrote: >I just double checked the number of pins and it is a 15 pin cable that >connects the MPX1Z to the DKC500RW, I'm not sure where the 9 pin cable >comes from. > > > > > > >To Post a message to the group, send it to: disklavier@... > >To Post a private message to Todd Muncy, the group's founder and moderator, send it to: >disklavier-owner@... > >To reach our group's web site go to: >http://Yahoogroups.com/group/disklavier > >Todd's family web site was completely updated 012/22/03.

I have been using extension cables for years on my computers. A Sub-D 15 male to female would naturally be wired pin for pin unless it was made for a specific proprietary purpose. As long as it is a serial cable it should be fine. You might be confusing it with the old null-modem cables. Do not try to use a null-modem cable. Mark in Idaho Robert Welcyng wrote:
