3019_0 cables - any other names?

Question

I am having trouble locating the encoder cables in Australia, I was hoping someone might be able to give me another name for them? I can find the connectors easily enough, although I wouldn't know how to go about inserting wires and creating a cable myself.

Mfr. No: CUI-3132-1FT That’s what I ordered.  The idea is to use the assembled molex connector ends and solder additional wires to gain the required length for the specific joint that the encoder is assembled too. As you noted, it’s more expensive to buy the individual components, then assemble it all.  The prefabricated cable reduces cost and assembly.  robotshop.com  is another supplier for these cables, if available in your location.

OK, I think I've worked it out a bit more - if others are in the same boat, crimping and creating the cables isn't too complicated, though it requires bloody expensive crimping tools from some searches I've done. Here's a video on crimping molex connectors - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofh998RCBY0 I guess you just buy the molex 50-57-9405 connectors and little metal inserts from your country's specialty supplier and make up some wires yourself with fine pliers.
