Anyone know where to get one? I had a straight,non coiled cord years ago with a male and female 4 pin on it. It was great.
Anyone make them? @nomadradio , I'm looking at you.

I'm not nomad but there's a thread around here somewhere with that discussion. Heil makes one and then there's the workman you can sometimes find too.

Okay, I give Up!
Does anyone know where to buy 4 or 6 conductor microphone cable by the foot? I've searched for days on the interwebs, can not find what I need. I can find cable, but all the wires are shielded with one shield instead of just the audio wire. I'd like to get about 10 feet or so. Maybe it's okay to...
I saw Walcott makes them but did not think the cable would be high quality..any thoughts on their quality?
For a 4 pin mic, starquad mic cable (the type typically used for XLR cables) should work well, and you can get the connectors on Amazon, Digikey, etc. If you need more than 4 conductors, shielded network cable like cat 5 should work. Make sure you use the mic audio and mic ground on the same twisted pair, and the PTT on a different pair to prevent noise. If you use network cable, I would recommend using a stranded wire variety rather than solid core.
Mike adapters are a slow-week thing that gets done when nobody's hair is on fire.
Sorta.
Can't remember where we bought the last roll of straight mike cord. Shoulda made a note.

That looks like some nice stuff, I'm listening.
Is that the same diameter/thickness as standard microphone cord?

Ideally the audio wires would be in a separate shield from the control wires. But if it works, it works.
