Use an LVD/SE cable with the terminator on the end unless the drive
is external, in which case you need the separate terminator plug.
The reason you can't find specific scsi3 stuff any more is that
the LVD/SE cables/terminators are backwards compatible.  If anything
on the cable isn't LVD, the whole chain drops back to SE operation
and works with just about anything.
