Hi,
I had the same problem and asked AJA about this. They said that 6 foot cables (the ones that come with the KBox) are the maximum length that can be used, nothing longer. Alas, but that’s what they said.

Since I have an isolation rack with no rear rails, my workaround was to mount the KBox to the back of a 1-space rack shelf, and then mount my patchbay in front of the box and the shelf’s rack ears, so that the rack screws hold both in place.

Hope this is (somewhat) helpful.

Cheers,

I certainly can’t claim the honor of being that far back of a veteran, but I do remember shelling out $450 to LaCie for one of their brand-new hotly-released 52 MB “zero footprint” drives (remember those?) to soup up my dear old dual floppy Mac SE, after deciding against a Jasmine BacPac drive (remember them?). And thinking about how it would be really hard to fill up all that space. (Oh really? Ever heard of SoundDesigner files?) I’ve had a fair amount of gear come and go since then, though I do still use my SE! It serves as an editor/librarian for my sampler. It still works great, and the system clock is still accurate! Even with System 6!

Oh, these fun threads…
