8 pin din cable not very easy to find in uk. A local cable company quoted me £30 to make a one off which i wasn't about to go for
Plus im no good at soldering to do one myself, stubby fingers
Subtracting tax and what postage and packing is roughly worth the price i paid for cable is £9 which is not much more than the parts would cost at a local electrical store do for me was a better option
