Anderson Powerpole to Elecraft connector

In Thomas's recent KX1/AX1 video I noticed that he used a small bit of cable to convert the Anderson powerpole output of his battery pack to the barrel connection for his Elecraft KX1. Was this a homebrew converter or a commercial product?

I just made one. The KX2 power plug is a standard 5.5/2.1mm jack. I bought 20 of 'em (I guess I need 19 more KX2s) for $10:
