  If you find a solution, please post. 
Most of the cables I've seen on these were made up using 2x5-way Berg
connectors and individual Bergcon crimp pins.  You can still get them,
but the pins are horrendously expensive in small quantities.   However,
lots of other manufacturers now make similar conectors (two rows, on a
0.1" pitch (2.54mm not 2.5mm)).  I've used ones made by Molex (C-Grid
III 90142 series, cut off the polarising lug) and Harwin (M20-1071000).
 Those numbers are from a quick glance at a catalogue so check them
before you buy a whole lot!  Tyco/Amp make something similar, 87456-6
is a 2x5 way housing with various gold-plated or tinned crimp pins to
fit.

I get mine from Farnell in the UK, but I'm sure you'd be able to get
something from any of the usual US suppliers.

BTW, if you make up your own DLV11-J cables, don't forget the shorting
link or it won't work reliably (if at all)!
