The CAIRO standard was almost mandatory in the 80’s and 90’s. Information is still at http://www.familybest.co.uk/cairo/index.html Suspect that many items on the ‘bill of materials’ are no longer available. Review materials availability and decide whether the standard remains viable.

Took components list from http://www.familybest.co.uk/cairo/manual/components.html#s7l . Ran order codes through the RS and Farnell websites for a first pass as I thought the 4 core cable had gone obsolete. Other than changes in order codes as product has been replaced with ROSH/WEEE compliant product, most things look available, Next challenge is whether they are still priced appropriately. New order codes need checking before any use. Files at http://109.74.201.86/g0dub/RAYNET-Technical-Team/src/branch/master/CAIRO

Equivalent system seen at Friedrichshafen in 2019 seemingly using RF45 connectors and Cat 5 cables. Another version now found and apparently patented in the USA at https://www.swapmyrigs.com/ using VGA shielded cable. The concept is still loved by some !
