Definitely a Micro-D - these are normally $50-100, but there are some 
less expensive versions out there.  A MIL-DTL-83512

You might look for spacewire cables/connectors - for flight they're 
expensive, but if you look for "lab grade" you might find some cheaper ones.

Here's a $12 part that is probably mating.

I prefer the ones with flying leads, because it's a tiny connector and 
hard to solder without damaging it.
