DEC cables

Does anyone in the UK have a spare DEC serial cable (any BC16-x) they'd be prepared to donate/sell for a pittance? Until I move house & install my shiny(ish) new(ish) MicroVAX in the garage with a permanent wire to the office, I can't justify building my own cable. Plus I don't have time to build one due to packing boxes (technically, I don't even have time to test it due to box packing, but Herself sleeps later than me in the mornings...), nor do I have the right crimping tool. Or cable or connectors, for that matter... I am, of course, happy to pay shipping costs. Can also trade, ask if there's something you want & I will endevour to swap (obviously, you can't have my HP1000 A700!!) Also, not strictly sure if this is on-topic or not, but: I'm planning to install 2 or 3 Cat5e cables from the garage to the house. 1 will be a genuine ethernet; the other two (or maybe 3) I'd like to use as serial cables: If I simply wire them as normal ethernet, will they work OK as serial comms cables; or should I wire them differently? Since I plan to make my own [device] --> [RJ45] and [RJ45] --> [terminal] cables to link to the Cat5e "bridge" cabling, I have complete control over how they are wired up.
