"Didn't think of that (tm) ;-) "
The only cable I have which doesn't fit is the DVI to HDMI cable which is about 2cm wider than the DVI connector :(

I've noticed this trend with a lot of cables lately, where the plastic around the perimeter of the connector is several times greater than it needs to be.  We have even run into this issue with some industrial products at my work.

I think this may stem from two fronts...

The first is some engineer at "Clone Tronics" focusing on trying to make a dimensionally correct pin-out for a "clone" connector, but then is just guessing at the housing dimensions.

The second is the lack of clarity in connector and bus standards to begin with. (An example that comes to mind is the PCI bus standard.)

Anyway, the progress sounds great! Looking forward to seeing more!
