There is nothing special about the connectors unless you want to remain totally appletalk compatible. I made one using phono plugs that worked just fine. It took the company I was working with 2 months to get cables from Apple just so we could look to see what they were like. Long story short, we used good Belden shielded cable, phono plugs, and db-9's and everything worked just damn swell. We only ran the cable about 25 meters, though... Cheers, eric PS. They talk about capacitance and resistance recommendations, and they are pretty important on heavily loaded nets, but we had about 5 stations on and had *no* problems.
