The cables that APH and Perkins sell are the same as the extender cables
that you can get in any technology or cable store, such as Radio Shack. 
There is all kinds of info about these cables and other things related to
NLS and BARD at this link.

Thanks, Daniel, I'm saving your post so I can refer to it later, very
helpful!  I wonder:  Are these extension cables the same as the cables
Perkins sells for use with the cartridges?  Beth Original message:
