It sounds like you're looking for the RoadMaster 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit part # RM-146 which comes with the adjoining connectors as well but these can be saved for future use or discarded. The umbilical however is not offered without these adjoining connectors.

In regards to safety cables, I recommend the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643. If you need longer you can add extensions, RoadMaster 8" Safety Cable Extensions part # RM-910648-8.
