OT: Making Your Own MIDI Cables



I need to make about 7 short MIDI cables. I think I can just order the DIN's and chop up some mic cable I have laying around, but I might order some bulk cable..  Can anyone tell me if this 5 Pin DIN Connector will do the trick?

Any knowledge you can share on cable specs for DIY MIDI cables?

Should I cut the red wire... or is it the blue wire?  Stories, suggestions, knowledge?
