Tim,
I think MMJ connectors are still available; L-Com comes to mind as a source. Or perhaps
Digikey or similar distributors. That would let you make your own. Crimp dies might be a
little harder, though an RJ-45 crimp tool might be able to do the job.

Ok, MMJ plugs still seem to be available in the UK, not sure about USA.

also some on ebay.co.uk
I don't think a RJ45 crimp works. There are MMJ crimps available from China
on e-Bay.com
If they are the same as mine they work, after a fashion.....

This is where I got the connectors, and they worked fine for me:

from Vnetek for around $15. I bought a few bags of 50
connectors at
the time. As far as I know Vnetek Communications had acquired the
rights to DECserver products, and might have previously operated as
Digital Networks. Unfortunately Vnetek Communications appears to have
disappeared without a trace a while ago.
If you want to make up a large number of MMJ cables using some
original DECconnect cable, here is a listing of a 1000ft spool of
original DEC H8240 cable. Some people have bought some of those spools
and reported that they are original DECconnect branded cable:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/162291819594
You used to be able to buy a Paladin (then Greenlee, then Tempo?)
PA8035 CrimpALL tool which included the PA2067 MMJ die. You can still
find the PA8000 CrimpALL tool without a die, but the PA2067 MMJ die
was discontinued a while ago and doesn't appear easy to find now. I
bought a PA8035 back when I bought the MMJ connectors. Never got
around to building up any MMJ cables yet, I already have enough
original cables on hand for now.

I can now verify that this is indeed DEC cable.? Boxed and labelled externally and
internally:
DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORP
H8240

Between this and a generic 6-wire silver satin spool (which I also use for model
railroading uses), I should be set for life.

one of those, it works sell, but is apparently discontinued.

Hi Tim,
You don't say where you are located and your phone number doesn't include
a country code so I am guessing you are in North America.
I have a decent MMJ crimper and some MMJ plugs. I don't have 20 foot of
cable though. If you send me the required length of cable, plus a bit more
length (or something else nice) to cover the cost of return postage from
Ireland, I would be willing to make up the cables you are looking for and
post them to you.
I even have an MMJ cable tester box which sees very little use.
If MMJ to DB25 cables would be more suitable for your purposes, I could do
those instead, however if we somehow fail to communicate the correct cable
specification, the cables would be no use for their intended purpose and no
use for anything else either and my MMJ cable tester box would also be very
sad that it didn't get used after getting it's hopes up :-)
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
