[ubuntu-za] OT: looking for activity LED cables, for RAID enclosures

[Rudi Ahlers]

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a LED Activity cable, for a 4 port SATA / SAS RAID
card, to connect to a RAID enclosure. The cards I use are typically
Adaptec 1220/1420/1430's, which has standard SATA ports (i.e. doesn't
use a mini SAS port) and has 4x LED connectors (indicating HDD
activity / failure) on the card. The RAID enclosures are typically
4bay ICY Dock units which has 8 LED (4x 2pin) PINS at the back which I
can then connect directly to the RAID card.

But, neither the RAID cards of RAID enclosures come with these cables
included. My suppliers also doesn't have, or know where I can get
them.

I'm looking for something similar to like this:

I have seen cables like these in servers, and some use a flat ribbon
cable (same as the internal serial cables / old IDE cables) with a
8PIN connector. But, I don't know where to actually get any.

Does anyone know where I can get such a cable in the JHB area?
