Hosa makes some 18 inch and 36 inch molded 1/4" patch cables, but the 36
inch ones are getting hard to find.
MARS carried some, named Cable-up or something like that, apparently
sourced by Tascam. MARS is going out of business, so that's out.
Peavey makes colored patch cables. You can order them online at
http://www.peavey.com/ under accessories, or they might point you
towards a local store that carries them. They have 18 inch and 36 inch
lengths. I just ordered some since the other sources seem to be drying
up.
For cables greater than 3 feet, I prefer something with heavier
shielding. Synthesizers.com has 4 and 6 foot lengths. These are color
coded only by a 2-3 inch piece of shrink wrap on each end, and the color
coding is identical for same length cables.
Raxxess and Map Cable management holders are available from most online
retailers such as Sweetwater Sound, Zzounds, etc. These are very useful
and can mount to a wall or cabinet.
