I was waiting for somebody from Apple to come out and say the part numbers. 
Everybody else just tells me the number of the pre-made cable.  No matter, I
already have my purchase order placed with a Molex distributor.  And I will
tell you, they were NOT easy to find.  Only one Molex distributor in southern
CA had them in stock and they are coming from Boston.  If one can't get them
from a major Molex distributor easily, then one certainly won't find them in
an electronics component store.
 
Maybe I ought to sell these cables at $3 a pop, could probably make a killing
from them.
