50 feet of raw 5 conductor mic cable that's not rigid like DMX for making a cable for a Shure VP88 stereo mic. It's 5 pin on the mic side and they supply a 5 to dual 3 adapter. I want that adapter at that stagebox with a single line from the mic instead of two xlrs coming down the stand because the adapter is plugged directly into the mic.

This might be referred to as "quad cable"?
 
Re: Where can I get?

Any quad cable that you like will work for this. Crosstalk is minimized when each pair consists of diagonally opposite conductors. For the Canare quad cable, one channel will be the blue wires, and the other the white. Check with an ohm meter to make sure you get the polarity right. Constructed like this, the crosstalk will be in the range of -90 dB for a moderate length of cable. More than adequate for a stereo mic.

You could also just use a two channel snake cable. They're not much thicker than most mic cables, and plenty flexible. Plus, that way, you could put the 5 pin connector on one side, and have the other side fan out to two three pin connectors, eliminating the need for an adapter.
