Does the interconnecting wire populate all 5 pins, i.e., is there a separate conductor for each pin from one end to other?

Yes, each pin is interconnected from end to end. The wire works really good.

How many conductors are in the wire? In particular, Is there a shield, and is that shield connected to pin 3 or is it separate (i.e. 6 conductors)?

To my knowledge, this is a standard 5 pin MIDI cable, with pin 2 being shield, pin 4 being voltage reference line, and pin 5 being data line. Typically in MIDI implementation pins 1 and 3 aren't used as they would be with a 5 pin DIN cable. However, 5 pin DIN cables can be used as MIDI cables, but not the other way around. Considering how this listing indicates this cable as a 5 pin DIN 'connector', it's difficult to say if it has the same pinout as 5 pin DIN, or if it just shares the same connection type. I know for sure it works in situations that involve MIDI though.

Not 2-pack as described in description; what are you referring too with “2-pack”?

This listing is for a single pack though (?). I don't see where it says 2 pack.

can I use these to hook up both together at same time meaning my roland boutique series machines?

I don't have any roland boutique equipment, but I use the cables to run my keyboard into my MIDI controlled Carousel Pipe Organ, and also to run a SD card reader into my keyboard to play ragtime and stride music. If your equipment had MIDI "in", and MIDI "out" or MIDI "thru", this cable will connect the devices.

Works great, and just the right lenght.

This midi cable works as advertised. I like the short length which reduces wire clutter. Use it between a Roland TD-9 and Roland SPD-SX and they communicate with each other fine.
