If you're looking to keep it inexpensive, you'll probably want to look at Hosa. In general, they don't have a great reputation, but if you stick with products that are made with decent parts and don't use molded connectors, you'll probably be OK. You didn't mention what connectors you need, nor how many channels.

Here are a couple of examples of XLR snakes from Hosa:

If you want something better, then Markertek is a good place to shop:
