it's an Ethernet cable. You can get them almost anywhere these days.

>> Hi, all.

>>
>> My other option is to purchase the DFK3D detachable front panel kit.

>>
>> The detachable front panel kit is cheaper, but apparently doesn't include

>> extension cable for the mic.
>>
>> I can't figure out why one would buy this kit, without needing a mic

>>
>> Obviously, I don't need all the extra cables in the entire cable

>>
>> I called R and L today to ask if I could buy a mic extension cable
>> separately to go with the front panel kit, and they said no.
>>
>> Am I missing something here?
