This is the FA9001 – FAB to Cable Crossover Adapter .

Normally, you hook up or connect one FAB Module to another FAB Module directly by mating their corresponding male/female headers together.

You can solve all these issues by using an ordinary 10-pin male-to-male IDC cable to hook up the different FAB Modules together.
