A good bulk-length commercial interconnect cable to build a longer-length 5 foot DIY DC umbilical (with an acceptable 1.42% voltage drop for a 12V DC 1.67A load) would be the DH Labs BL-1 (not to be confused with the Connex BL-Ag) featuring 20 AWG silver plated stranded copper conductors with FEP Teflon dielectric and foil shield with drain wire. While it's not a solid core pure silver cable, it's well-respected for low-current DC umbilical applications according to Darren Hovsepian of DH Audio, and the 5.5mm outer diameter of the BL-1 is slim enough to terminate with a Switchcraft DC plug.
