I believe the first three cables listed here do what you want:

Thank you for the link. However, I think the problem is that the connectors have to be on the opposite side. I think mechanically, the only way to connect two boards together is to stack the two boards and have a cable similar to the one pictured in that link. However, the first 3 (board to board) have the connectors on the same side. I believe the heat sink on the Arria 10 board would prevent using cables with connectors on the same side. I have a request into HiTech Global but have not heard a response as of yet.

Thanks,
