The last time I looked for these they were available in office supply
stores.

These may even still be made by Belden; they were just a few years ago.

Just be glad you're not looking for a cord for a Wollensak tape recorder.
It is very similar-looking but not actually the same as these...

This probably isn't up to code, but for my function generator I cut the

Slightly crimping the other end made a socket that nicely fits the pins.

Looks ugly, but works.
