Yes, the cable inside (A) is terminated. You need to make a cable with the 
standard connector on one end (Centronics/SCSI-1) and 25-pair 3M on the
other. To be sure of the kind of connector needed (3M), look in the box.
The internal cable is terminated. Take off the terminator and you'll see
what kind of connector is needed. We use 50-conductor flat cable for our
extender cable. We took off the tin face plate of the original plug and
snaked our cable out above it.
This type of cable (SCSI-1 to 3M) may be readily available in Europe since
it is also used for (standard) SCSI access from VME-based FIC's (I understand
that VME is quite prolific in Europe).
