Third Party Replacement Cables:
Rode NT4-DXLR - 5-Pin XLR to dual 3-Pin XLR 10 foot cable
Remote Audio 5-Pin Stereo XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Y-Cable - 25 foot
Third Party Extension Cables:
Cable Techniques CT-PX-510 Premium Stereo Microphone Cable - 10' (3.04m)

Ambient Recording MKS8 XLR-5 Female to XLR-5 Male Stereo Microphone Cable (26.24')
