Ok I've got a few comments offlist too and they all seem to draw the same conclusion - crimp your own length. Thanks all for the input. On Apr 17, 2015 4:11 PM, "William Herrin" <bill@herrin.us> wrote:

Or you build the cable to fit the span. I must be getting old.
There's a "best of both worlds" version of this: buy lots of the short-length cables (1 to 6 feet) and "cut down" longer cables where the distance exceeds the short cables I can buy.
I typically buy 25' cables each of which turns in to a pair of shorter cables with one manufactured and one field-terminated end. I end up with cables that are "just right" and well organized.
Harder to do with power cables but still somewhat functional.
