i dont think that is the same kind of standard molex as in PCs. molex makes connectors that look like that which are i guess ocatgon and avalible in like 2-alot of pins. the shack doesnt give enough info to tell but what gives it away to me is those mounting ears for panel mounting the connector.
if you dont have a local parts store and are ordering id suggest somebody like frozencpu or svc since then you know it is the PC related molex. and you can get gold plated pins

Those arent the same ,if you look close you'll see one side is flat and the other rounded .
Normal 4 pin "PC"molex connectors are flat on the bottom and rounded on both top edges.
You could use them in a custom setup but thayre NOT compatable with normal connectors.
