Re: Fluke pod ribbon cables .. strange

<x-flowed>
I think you might be mixing up twisted pair header cables and ribbon style
headers. I recall seeing something about the difference, but I don't think
it is significant. Something about the shield ground jumper....

I have no spares, but you can buy a cable (ribbon) that should work fine
from Digi-Key.com or the equivalent in the UK.
