Allen & Heath Power Cable

[GarryN]

Hi,
I need to build a power cable for an Allen & Heath ML5000 Console with an RPS14 supply.. I can't find any info on the connector types 7pin male and Female also the AWG they use . My guess is AWG 16.
Any Help would be appreciated or maybe you know someone that has one?
I am located in Canada and A & H are asking a ridiculous price of over $200.
Thanks

After a bit of detective work, i came across the following:

In some "related" photos in a Google image search for the ML5000 cable, a listing for a connector for an A&H RPS11 cable came up.

Same style of connector, just 10-pin instead of 7-pin. But zooming in on the image, "HRS" can be seen moulded into the plastic insert of the connector, which indicates it to be a Hirose part.

That then brought me to:

So it would seem the connector is part of the Hirose JR16 series. Digikey has some in stock, but not what i'd call cheap.

I really appreciate the info and I am amazed how Fast you found it. I have been on it for 3 days. Well conclusion I think A&H got me on this one. After paying for the connectors, taxes, 16AWG wire and labor I would not be saving much.
Cheers
