What's the balanced output socket called for the SR71b? And where to get a CHEAP cable/adapter...

What is the name for the square-shaped balanced output socket on the SR71b?

 

Where can you get CHEAP cables and an adapter for such a socket? I've seen ALO plugs but to get the cables and the adapter system would be ridiculously expensive - and I'm not a cable-believer. Is there anyone who makes the cables/adapters for cheap?

 

I am interested in the SR71b, but have to admit I'm put off because of that propreitary-looking socket.

I dont know anything about Zynsonix, but looking at their prices for other cables/adapters, I doubt that they will be appreciably cheaper than ALO - happy to hear otherwise. I found other stuff on boards from folks complaining about the rarity of this connector, but I guess if Mouser has it 71B owners should be OK for a few years yet. Good luck.
