Peter, There certainly is as we have used them in the past. You may have to just search for it. Is it cable or pcb mount? If cable is it solder or icd connections. Male or female? The ones we had were black nylon male & female with idc connection. I never saw an outer shell for them though. Sorry, can't look up the supplier until mid next week when I'm back in NZ but I think they were AMP parts. RS and Farnell provide pictures of most of their parts so that may assist.
