Hi Flavio,

I would go for female D connectors on each chassis end and a male to male D cable. I would also go with 
all pins wired straight through end to end if possible, although this will depend on your shielding and 
grounding requirements. The female chassis connectors mean no exposed pins to be damaged or exposed 
to static shock. I find it is usually easier to replace a cable with a broken pin than to replace and rewire 
the chassis connector.
