Home made, or factory made, it's only 2 wires. Very easy to fabricate your own. You could even just tin the ends of a wire with solder, when it's still hot, squeeze the ends with players to square off. They should insert easily into the slots in the speaker. Just keep track of your polarity.
 
Scored a pair for 125 cad with one woofer not being original. Good thing I was able to source one locally for 50$. jus fabricated my sda cable by using some 14 gauge and soldering fabricated female disconnects (was what was available) and works just fine. I Love the sound on these! Using SAE mark iii to power them but thinking I may try the Bryston 4B instead to compare.

I found a pair of Polk SDA's with no cable. How did you fabricate the cable? Do you have a photo of it? Thanks.
 
Homemade SDA cables with stuff from my parts bin. Blades are filed down extension cord plug pins.

When the brass oxidizes and you're wondering why the SDA isn't working remember you chose not to spend the $33.00 for the proper connectors. Unbelievable!

Hey lighten up! EVBoy is a nice guy. And he did buy the proper connectors.
 
Hilarious how I got my sda to work.. ended up using a spare pair of female banana or spade plugs (like ones on the back of most modern speakers) then made them fit into the sda slots. So now I just run whatever speaker cable I want to run as an sda connector. I even tried some silver cables and they where very revealing.
