Search for "microphone coiled cable".

Microphone cables do not have 8 cores, this is a specialised cable.

I used to make those myself back in the seventies.
Wrap a piece of cable around a wooden stick, and "(fan)bake" it in the oven for an hour.
You have to experiment with the temp setting.
Has to be just under the melting point of the wire.
Start with ~80C.

"Coiled cable" is the relevant search term.

usually ordered as custom assemblies, I think. For relatively small quantities, find a "replacement" cable for some relatively common product. (Hmm. for 8 conductors, see if there are any "coiled cat5 cables." (http://www.cablescience.com/coils/electronic-1/ncc-series.html ) (or maybe serial cables.)

ok thanks guys,
i think i might find one with the connector in an Audio systems and electronics shop

but before that my question is : what are the exact words you typed in ebay to have this results ?

I believe it was "coiled 8 conductor microphone cable".

Found this picture too:

The shield is the eighth conductor. Use it for your ground.
