Doepfer

bigcitymusic offers good patchcords in many lengths and colors. 

My used A-100 came with a few gray, thin patchcords that have 
intermittent connectivity problems. The ones from bigcitymusic are 
fine.

For immediate gratification, you can find patch cords (I think 
they're 18") at Radio Shack. A little more expensive than the online 
cords, and they are uselessly stereo, but they work great and are 
quite durable and flexible.
