source for panel mount 5 pin mini xlr

Im recabling my razor head set after destroying yet another and im sick of getting it replaced by warranty because of bad strain relief, only to have it fail again.

 

Ive never had a headset where the inline mute/volume control has failed due to strain. After i removed the inline controls a few weeks ago after they failed yet again and i lost sound to the left channel, it failed again, this time from inside the ear cup.  So ive mounted a mute toggle switch in the ear cup and was looking for away to have removable connectors.

 

I was thinking of using 2x 3.5mm jacks for sound and mic until i found the mini 5 pin XLRs from redco, but i cant find any panel mount connectors.  The other option is to have 1 cable xlr hanging a few inches from the headset and have another xlr to 2x 3.5mm cable to connect between the headset and computer.

 

Thanks
