Samuel,

I understood that you were trying to relieve the stress from the heavy serial cable.  The point I was making is that creating a short ribbon cable with DB-9 connectors on each end will do exactly that.  The difference is that extending the serial signal is no problem, whereas extending the extremely high frequency SXKey signals can cause lots of problems.

I have attached a picture to show my key with the ribbon cable.  Believe me, the SXKey has absolutely no problem supporting the weight of this as it probably weighs about two ounces.
