I agree with David about the variations on cabling and pin-outs. However,
with that said, you can buy universal connectors of this sort from a company
called: Cables Unlimited http://www.cablesun.com
or call Mark Dunstan 1-800-655-1905 and he will set you up if you are
an OEM/system builder... or such. He can send you a catalog... and they
have great pricing. (Sorry but that is a USA only number... outside the
US you will need to send him an Email at: [log in to unmask] ).
These guys get good marks on availablity and pricing.
