Anyone know of a good source for 3.5mm patch cables in lengths shorter than 12 inches, perhaps 6 inches long? Thanks, Chris

i just got a big mess o cords from analogue haven -
shortest ones are a foot long though. maybe you already saw that and that's
why you're asking -- but any shorter than that would seem to cause a sort of
tension between the jacks as the cord is subject to more extreme bending. a foot
makes a nice n' easy arc between tight spots. they seem to be pretty sturdy, and
no noticable difference in quality between the store brand and the doepfer cords
that i notice yet. probably come from the same factory.
(be careful when you go to that site. i find my
credit card becomes extremely hot in my wallet.)
the other option would be to make your own. it's
easy as pie. you can get decent parts from mouser, digikey, or any number
of online suppliers if you don't have a decent local source. blacet also sells a
bag with all the parts you need in one handy bag, but i've found those cables to
be a little more thick and heavy duty than i find to be pleasant. a six inch
cord would probably more like a small stick - not wanting to be bent
at all.

Yeah, I'm guessing that it will be more difficult to find pre-manufactured cables under a foot in length. The Blacet kits are excellent quality and reasonably priced, and you can color code your heatshrink this way. If anyone's looking for a good deal on 1/8" cables, I've been buying them lately from www.debcoelectronics.com. They only have 2 ft and 6 ft lengths and are molded "made in china" types, but they are *ridiculously* cheap ($.89 and $1.29 respectively) and seem to have worked well so far for me (been using them about 6 months now). Debco seems to be a mom and pop business and I highly recommend them, good service and some really good deals... check the clearance section. ---Ben PS---Analoguehaven is indeed awesome as well!

Thanks for all of your replies. Each was helpful in some way. I will probably order some of the Analogue Haven 12" as well as a Blacet kit to experiment with some shorter lengths. On my Serge/Modcan system I use 4" and 8" cables all the time for inter-module patching, so I'm admittedly biased toward cables with less droop! Best wishes, Chris
