Disclaimer: I REEEELY HATE to mention this company, especially to this
newsgroup, BUT:

Digital Equipment Corp. makes Ethernet transceiver/AUI/thick/15-pin cables
in 2-meter and 5-meter lengths.  Assuming that you and your local sales
rep are not on speaking terms, you can order by calling 1-800-DIGITAL.
The model is BNE4C, and the prices a year or so ago were $55 and $70.

DON'T tell 'em I sent you!

T&R Communications in Sunnyval, CA, also makes any sort of cable you
want-- they make all of our xcvr drop cables from 1 foot to 50 feet...
