I use Radio Shack cat # 42-2151 ($4.99) six foot DIN patch cords as MIDI
cables.  They are 5 pin, and each pin is independent, just fine for 
MIDI cables.  Of course, if you need longer cables, you can buy the
connectors alone, but the 5 conductor shielded wire is not available
at Radio Shack.
 
People experiencing problems with their midi ports should try these
cables to make sure it's not a cable problem.  Some MIDI cables are 
cheap, and the pins are not always independent.  Hope I save someone
a trip to the repair center.
