Cat 6 cables 0.2m ?

    I am planning to get a 9u cabinet with a 24 port patch panel and 16 port switch. If i place the patch panel and switch together, I will need short patch cables between them. The shortest I have found is 0.3m but this will look messy. I will need as much room as possible for a NAS.

    I could make them up myself but I figured buying them would be handier. What is the ideal length for this setup and where can I get them aside from china
    tks

    Yes 0.25 mtr cords can be got ok. Makes a nice neat job of it. Wood communications Ballymount might have them for you.
