After you've got things set up can you run the twinax out to the
garage/basement/tree house/garden shed and leave your old terminal console
out there?  How often do you have to work from the console, once you're set
up?

I do not have the Operations Console cable (PN 97H7557). At $100+ I'm not
sure I want to spend that on a damn cable.   I have an old terminal I can
use as my console but I'm just trying to unclutter the home office. Anyone
have a spare PN 97H7557 cable they want to unload cheap?
