SRX Mag Encoder Mounting and Cables

[s5511]

The past season, our team used several versaplanetary integrated magnetic encoders on our robot, and we really liked them. We are now trying to use them on our drivetrain, and we were wondering how other teams mount them to live axles on their drivetrain (not directly to the gearbox). So far, I have come across this, but I noticed that other teams (such as 254) do it differently, and I can't figure out how they are mounted from their pictures.

Also, I was wondering how other teams make longer SRX encoder cables, since the longest ones that Vex sells are only 12 inches long.

Thanks!
