I have just started dabbling in B&O gear and now have some beolab 4000's and a beoport. Neither came with cables, and as I'm handy with a soldering iron, I'd like to make some mk3 cables. What I am unsure of is what exact cable to buy, preferably from somewhere like digikey. 

I am guessing I want something with 3/4 wires plus dual shielding, but that doesn't seem to be common? Any suggestions?

In terms of connectors, this looks right https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SD-80/CP-1080-ND/97003?

Hi,

if you want to make your own powerlink cable, the mentioned plugs work.

The cable itself should be a 4 wire shielded cable to build a Mark 3 cable. Use pin 4, 5,3 and 7 and screen to pin 2.
