From one ol' fart to another, agreed. MUCH reduced
chance for errors that are EASY to make and very
difficult to find/fix.
44 pin devices would be the sub-miniature D-Subs.
Sorry. No inventory on that series of devices.

I used a couple of these (cut to expose the needed conductors) when installing my old Garmin in my Glasair panel. They screwed right into the Garmin tray and make great contact.
I know the insulation isn't aviation-rated. But for this use in a protected area, I just cant get too excited about it. (Especially in my somewhat-flammable airplane.)
Amphenol CS-DSDHD44MF0-005 44-Pin HD44 Deluxe D-Sub Cable, Shielded, Male/Female, 5', Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O072X3Q
The cable is plenty flexible, though a bit long. With a little looking, you can likely find something closer to just the length you need.
Saves a lot of crimping and testing, or just cut it and do one end. Probably costs about the same as 88 (plus re-dos) pins and a tool if you don't have one.
