You can order on line. Very fast delivery. I placed my order, from the east coast USA on a Monday morning, got the cables delivered from Wash. State on Wed. I have no affiliation with them, was recommended from a fellow over at the cable forum. Since then, I have read of many videophiles on the web who use their stuff. There are a few other web based cable companys out there, do a google search.

I agree with the other poster, you can do very well making your own DIY cables using the exact same materials as Bluejeans. They show a heavy duty S-video cable setup using double 1694as with BNC ends, along with BNC to S-video "breakout" adapters. I ordered the adapters from them and made my own 1694a cables with BNC, which I ordered from Markertek. I have also made some audio, RF, composite and digital cables with belden and canare, using non-canare crimpers with good results.

The main "limitation" of doing DIY cables is finding a supplier who will sell you the minimum length you need, not rolls of 500-1000', although they are out there, do a search in cables, ton of info. I feel video cabling is less critical than audio, and is a great place to start "brewing your own".
