TMB is very good, I get mine from Production Advantage.
They have prices on the web, Quality Theatrical Supplies and Equipment
BMI is also good.

As the OP seems more concerned about price than quality, http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/lighting-electrics/15407-facts-about-dmx.html .I can't tell...is this sarcasm from Derek? Or an actual suggestion?

TMB's ProPlex and Tour-Plex is the absolute best, but I've heard (never used) Elation Accu-cable is acceptable for light-duty applications.
Don't forget the 3 to 5 and 5 to 3 pin adapters, around $20 ea.
Or $5 if you know where to look.

No, there is nothing about three pin cables. What you are looking for is cable that complies with the standard. Most people that use three pin XLR still use 5 wire cable. There is a twist and resistance requirement that 5 wire meets easily.

The pin has become common be cause the manufacturers started using them to control costs. There is many threads about the standards, how they have become bastardized, and how it is actually most costly to the end user.
But it is a 2 pair twist correct? In 5 Pin DMX is the Common paired with something else or is it a shield? Wouldn't the appropriate Belden twist cable for the +/- using EIA-485 standard be a "correct" non standard way of using the bastardized 3 pin configuration? In both audio and DMX the common does not have to be a twisted pair correct? Does this not make sense? And then does anyone make this
I doubt this, since there's no benefit whatsoever.
BOTH drain wires? Individually shielded pairs?...Caution: If you are using two pair cable with 3 pin connectors DO NOT parallel anything! ... Just cut off the second pair. (Connecting both drain wires to pin one is ok.) ...

How is this accomplished using (only) XLR3s? Which is what the discussion was about--using 5-conductor cable with 3-pin XLRs. I thought the two universe over one cable issue was settled here. I suppose though, if one allows the breaking of one rule (XLR3), one can't get too consternipated about another (two universes).Depending on how you use your cables, there can be a slight benefit. Your DMX snake from FOH to stage can have half as many couple-hundred foot DMX cables if you use splitters at the front and back end of each run to put two universes of DMX into a single cable and divide them into separate cables at the end of the run.
And I've never seen it done, except for break-out adapters on the 5-pin output(s) of some Avolites consoles.I've only seen this done a couple times.
