Very Short SATA Cables

Greetings

Is there such a thing as a SATA cable shorter than the seemingly standard short length of 45cm?

All my hard drives are about 5cm away from the connectors, seems a waste to use such a long cable.

Cheers
Ian

I need 4 of these but have no idea where to get em

Buying three shuttles appears to be a solution then

There is an american site(Not going to mention which, as its a competitior) which seems to specialise in computer cables, and they have really short SATA cables, as well as really long ones, dual SATA cables etc. Unfortuntely I havent found anything similar here in the UK.
