Anyone know of a source for really short USB cables, 6" - 18" long? I have a bunch of 3' USB cables and they're way too long.

Thanks,
Hermit

Thanks Fullmetal Chocobo,

Those retractable thingys are a bit bulky for when you need 4-6 from a hub. Looking for just plain A-B cables.

I'm pretty sure I saw 8" [Not 6" but sure beats 18"] SATA cables at CoolDrives. Its not the best organized website, but . . .

Scroll way down, they have 4" and 8" SATAs. :D

Those bad boys don't come cheap :)

There is a short tutorial online about shortening USB cabling, but it intails soldering and heatshrink, plus the joint makes for a stiff cable. Google it if it interest you.

Tas, save this site. I need short SATA cables and the price is right, $2.00 :D
Plus options of 90 degree or straight, they are 8" but with a 90 at one or both ends
it might be worked to be presentable.

IIRC, MyCableShop.com had 6" but the site is down. I think I saw the 6" cables there
about 4 months ago.
