For a recent project of mine I tried a few different connector types but eventually ended up just using RJ-45 (ie Ethernet) connectors. Relatively cheap pre-made cables of almost any length. Twisted pairs also makes it useful for balanced signals. Main downside is the relatively low current rating but that was not a too big of a concern for this application.



I'm doing the same. L-com makes a solid 24 AWG, double shielded, LSZH Cat5E cable that is just about perfect.
