Greetings everyone,
I am  about to start building a mini jack format modular and need
advice on where to source good quality mini cables and connectors
either premade or separate connectors and cable so I could make up my own.
Thanks.

give these guys a try - they are molded cable ends and are CHEAP.  I
bought 100 of each length - the 2' lengths cost $.65 per cable!!! 
(the 2 footers are a personal favorite, BTW).

the build quality is typical of hosa or any other source.  really,
over the last few years I have had only a few patchcord failures.

I just looked - they are out of stock on the 1' and 3' legnths
presently, but there really isn't a cheaper source of 3.5mm patchcords
that I have seen...

I have to agree - I spent quite a bit of money making 3.5mm
patchcords, and they have had more failures than the cheap pre-made
ones that I got from all electronics!
