cRIOs with patch cables

I've been trying to figure out if it's permitted to detach the cards from the cRIO, place them elsewhere on the robot, and attach them back using a standard patch cable.

R64 mentions allowing the attachment of cables to already existing ports, but if the patch cable were to count as a custom circuit then R71 doesn't seem like it allows the attachment of custom circuits to the slots of the cRIO.

Does a patch cable alone between two non custom circuits count itself as a custom circuit? And if it doesn't, do the rules anywhere I haven't managed to find yet stop you from using a patch cable so that the cards of the cRIO aren't directly attached anymore?
