If you have access to DB-9 hardware, that is not a bad way to go either. Easy to terminate, crimp or solder, with standard hardware everywhere, including IDC (ribbon cable) termination.

The CAN Bus wires that come with the Talon SRX's are probably larger than the wires in ribbon cable and might not work with IDC DB-type connectors. There are IDC connectors for larger wires but it would take some research to find some that are readily available in the small quantities that FRC teams would want to buy (i.e. no need to order in 1000's).
It just occurred to me that we may be using some locking IDC connectors with 18AWG wires at work. I will have to have a look around when I get to work today.
