Mouser doesn't have the cable with Mini din attached, but digikey does.

There's a TX ground on the 8 pin tuner jack as well as the 10 pin linear 
jack and that's what at least one of the epay vendors uses, the 8 pin. 
that Digi is for a cable with 8 pin min din on one end and bare stripped 
wires on the other. There's no ALC on the 8 pin connector though and ALC 
from an amp is a really good idea to keep down overdriving the amp and 
causing splatter.

Yaesu also has cables for that so every dealer selling the FT950 should 
have them for sale.
