I too use 5 pin XLRs on the ends and short breakouts with 3 pin XLRs
on them. I wire as follows & I'm sure it's standard
Pin 1: Ground (same as the rest of the connectors)
Pin 2: Left Pin 2
Pin 3: Left Pin 3
Pin 4: Right Pin 2
Pin 5: Right Pin 3
The other thing I do is put a small piece of Red heat shrink on the
left channel 3 pin XLR AND a piece of Yellow heat shrink on the end of
the cable that goes to the recorder. That way I always plug Red into
the left channel, and when I'm fiddling with cable I know which end to
grab for the recorder without having to check the pins
Also, in answer to your quetion about wher to get the cable, here are
the Google search results

Good Hunting
What I want to know is can you get it in different colours to
differentiate your roll lengths?? Eg 5mt is Black, 10 is red 20 is green
