Recommendations for passing LP4 Molex external to DIN/GX type connectors and cables.

Hello Everyone,

I'm adding a DAS enclosure in a 10" rack and I'm looking for some suggestions on connectors and cables to pass LP4 Molex (Multiple separate connections) out to the DAS. I'll add a 1U panel for flanged connectors, 3d printed once I know what I'm using and can design it. My thoughts are a female Molex LP4 to flanged DIN/GX16 type 4 pin connector, then some cables to run to the DAS, and the same DIN/GX16 to LP4 Molex on the DAS case. No actual need for waterproof connectors, but open to easy connectors to work with or even solder-less options. I would like to find connectors that allow for reasonably priced ready made cables (24"-36"/60-90cm) to use. I believe they would need to be 18awg to 16awg.

Ai image roughly of what I'm thinking, it added an extra wire... and image of the disk shelf.

Alternatively, if anyone has some good ideas on passing 3 sets of over a single cable, that might also work.

Thanks in advance for your ideas!
