Anybody have any leads on Hirose male 4 pin cables in the US? Either D-tap to Hirose or Hirose to Hirose?

Just mistakenly ordered a D-tap to female power cable and it seems that there are no male 4 pin versions available anywhere except the UK. Sound Devices is saying availability 4-6 weeks. Why is there such a shortage?? I need one by next weekend.

Since it is just a standard Hirose cable, most custom cable houses can make one for you.

I would give Trew Audio a try. They show a D-Tap to BDS cable, so I am pretty sure that if they didn't have one in stock, they could make up a D-Tap to Hirose in short order.

Thanks Matt, I think Trew is a good bet. Contacted them and I believe they can make one for me.
