Just a wild hair of a wild thought (that I almost used and might still use for rebuilding the 8-pin DIN power cable from a Zeos 386 (got it working but haven't fully rebuilt the cable yet):
It might take two cat5 cables (you could glue the sockets together side to side) and I'm not 100% sure your wires will fit in the cable ends, they might be too large (but it's a thought). It would look a lot cleaner in the end *and* in theory you could swap out different adapters later, provided they were wired correctly.
You could... you could almost have a universal 15-pin-to-anything adapter, or at least anything signal-compatible.
*Too* *many* *things*!
