I suspect that will be a frustrating search.  I have heard of cases
where an installation was torn down by people who didn't know and/or
didn't care about things computer and just slashed cables in two as
necessary to get stuff out.  On a few occasions I've acquired hardware
with half the associated cable, one connector and one cut end.

It hurts every time I think about it.

But it does mean that cables will tend to be rarer than the things the
cables connect, at least in cases where the cables are not a commodity
(examples of cases where they _are_ commodities are DB25 or DE9 serial
ports, or the commoner kinds of SCSI).
