Where to get flexible, long, angled s-ata cables?

[ATWindsor]

I recently popped open a HP-workstation and saw a type of sata-cable I havent seen before, it was more flexible for sidewise bending, and it looked like it was composed of two smaller cables next to each other, insted of on flat and wide one. Almost like an unsplit phono-cable.

It had standard connectors with an angle on each end. They seemed usefull when you have a lot of cables and not as much space, so i wondered if anybody had an idea of where i could get this? Or maybe a shop with a good selection that might have it?

More or less like this one: http://www.satacables.com/asse...la-esata-3gb-cable.jpg, only internal, with angled conctors, and latches doesn't hurt either.

You mean something like this?

I don't know where to get longer ones though...

Thanks for the tip, I have tried those though, and they aren't very long, and frankly not that flexible either, they are better then regular cables, but the ones in the HP was even better. I guess they would do the job if they where longer, but i would prefer them to be more flexible.

Too bad they don't have left to left.

Thanks for some nice tips, i might consider one of the three first links, although the seem abit less flexible than the one i saw in the HP machine (very difficult to judge from pictures alone however). The HP and 3ware-ones are ML-cables, i just need regular sata-cables.

They have a good selection of lengths and so on, but all the cables seem to be of the regular "flat" type, also the ones they say are flexible. In my experince those kinds of cables are not very flexible for sideways bending (i have 26 drives, so i have a lot of cables to route in my case, thats why im so interested in flexibility). Do you have any experience with the flat ones named "ultraflex", are they much more flexible than ust regular sata-cables?
