Cinch doesnt make them anymore, however if you look in Mouser, you'll find a
second source for the connector and on the page then happily show you a
picture.  Might be Digikey not Mouser.  I bought some a few months back and
was pleased to see they were second sourced.

Weird that Cinch discontinued only the 8pin.  Weird and annoying.
