I was thinking a shorter cable also. Right now it is 20 feet, I only have the one set of connectors which I don't think can be uncrimped. I believe the only signal that is affected is the control line from the motherboard, but why this should be a problem I don't know. Everything else seems to work. I'm wondering what the symptoms would be if there was no control line?
