The cable supplied with the kit is an 8.5” cable and the diagram, figure 12, shows a 5” cable here.  Not that the cable length matters much, but the lack of clarity of this point had me wondering if I had missed something involving the “extra” cable.  Further stating that I would end up with an unused 8.5” cable would also have helped.
