You can have them made locally or even DIY... curly cables are not a problem. To DIY, buy two plugs and a crimping tool (JAYCAR) and wrap cable around a small tube and use a hairdryer set to HOT to make it curly. The plugs are "IDC" (insulation-displacement) which means the plug has tiny sharp teeth that bite into the insulation around each core to make contact - no soldering required.

You could probably get by with a "Straight through" (ie 1:1) patch cable and make that curly; pretty sure places like Farnell or RSComponents would have a 6 pole one pre-made as a stock item.
