In my experience, provided you keep it short - a foot, maybe two - you
can get away with just about anything.  I once made an AUI cable with a
DA15F, and DA15M, and a foot or so of 15-wire ribbon cable.  AUI is
only 10Mb, and the frequencies are low enough that the impedance bump
of such a thing is close enough to invisible for it to work.  (On a
lark, I tried it with some 10 or 20 feet of 15-pin ribbon cable first,
and I saw packet loss rates of somewhere around 75%.)
