Get a multimeter and buzz out a standard cable.  Then order two
high-density 15-way D types and 40ft of high quality N-core shielded
cable.  The lower the inter-conductor capacitance, the better.
Don't forget shells for the connectors.  You'll need 
good quality metallised plastic or diecast metal shells.  Attack
with soldering iron.

Personally, I'd buy a cable instead.  Blackbox (01 662 2466) will
have it.  Farnell or Radionics might have one.
