maplin :-(

CPC sell the cable, in 25m reels, at £150 a reel! Hate to think of the
price in short lengths, if you can find a supplier.

Not ideal, but if you could get a suitable lead that fans out into
smaller connectors, and connect two of them (one 'in', one 'out'), you
could get the smaller connectors through a smaller hole. Problem is you
may not get the control signals passed through, not to mention a bit of
loss in the connectors.

If you have to do a large hole, you could use a cable tidy (as they use
in the tops of desks) to tidy the hole.
