I'm making some 2U high rack mounting boxes, and I'm trying to select

I'm think of sticking with the good old fashonioned EDAC 516 series.
Any other suggestions?
The Whirlwind connectors are a lot more rugged than the EDAC stuff. They
are more expensive, but you can drop them in the mud. It's too easy to
bend pins on EDAC connectors in the field.
For fixed studio use, the EDAC connectors are fine. Paired DB-25s are
cheaper, though, and gaining in popularity.

Those Whirlwind connects are excellent, I'll probably layout the back
panel so there is a poss. of re engineering for DT12 series.
I've always had a utter loathing of D type connectors, badly designed
IMHO, you can never see the pin numbers with out a magnifying glass,
and there are so many vendors, they all seem to want you to buy a
different grimp tool, ugh.
