This type of plug is called an 'MMJ' (Modified Modular Jack). The blank
plugs, the crimping tool (AMP) to crunch them onto the raw wire, and the
necessary 6-conductor flat wire itself, are all available from Graybar
Electric Supply (offices all over the place -- check your local phonebook
or www.graybar.com).
The nice thing about the crimping tool is that, although kind of pricey
(around $130 with a die set or two), it can be reconfigured to do just
about any kind of modular plug except the big 10-pinners. I've found it to
be a good investment because I do my own network patch cables (RJ45 plugs),
telephone work, and MMJ plugs.
