The connector on the cards are (Micro)D68F (also used by SCSI-3  
devices).  You would be looking for a D68M-D68F cable to extend the  
connection.  Check with your favorite cabling vendor for pricing, but  
it may be cheaper to extend the RJ45's than purchase a D68  
cable...though I'd admit the D68 extension is a tidier solution in the  
rack :).  I was also able to come up with vendors that make custom  
length CAB-HD8-ASYNC compatible cables, that start in the neighborhood  
of > $100USD.
