I talked to CTRE at CMP and he said he was considering using a 2 row 20 pin 2mm pitch connector for CAN, limit switch, and encoder inputs in order to fit on the small body of the motor controller. The same type of connector commonly used for JTAG debugging on ARM microcontrollers. Based on the drawing, 2mm pitch looks about right, but went down to 10 pins for limit switches and encoders and moved CAN to dedicated pigtails.

Also, I've just mounted 2 prototype Victor SP on a testbot. The wires are very supple and flexible. "Noodley", good stuff.
