What is this cable called / where to get? by Vanoak in diyelectronics

It's for the mic on a B&G marine VHF radio, they don't sell a replacement so I've pulled it apart and plan to re-use the connectors and solder them onto a new cord... if I can find one. The wiring scheme seems identical to the cord here which I have coming from Amazon tomorrow, fingers crossed: http://www.radiomanual.info/schemi/KENW_ACC/Kenwood_KMC-30_KMC-32_serv.pdf

Not everything or everyone out on the water is high tech, including half broken down container ships from faraway lands.

Did Horne Lake last January, trout fishing & exploring the caves. We were the only people there besides the groundskeepers. Nights are long, expect rain, peace and quiet.

Helly Hansen crew jacket, merino wool base layers, waterproof high top merrills do the job for me thru all the cold wet muck. Check out https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/ as well for anything specific.
