it can be a bit of trial and error (and $), but the best is when you can find the right length for the STAGGERED SM 8087 break out cables, like this one:
CBL-0278L-01 //

(just an example, this is prob not the right length for your system).

quite a few times ive use pieces of cut up cat5 cable to measure out the staggers. when they have the right size, its the best when you have to use a TQ type backplane.
the SM estore has reasonable prices on many items, and their pakcaking for shipment is 2nd to none! (not that it matters on parts like this, but im always impressed when i open up their shipments)
