Suggestions for sources of custom cable kits?

Question

I'm looking for a cost-sensitive manufacturer of custom cable assemblies. I t's expensive to have my company's on-site technicians build the various RF coax, digital, and power cables that are required for our mid-volume (100s ) chassis-based products. I'm looking for a one-stop shop that can provide a full range of RF and digital cable assemblies built to my exact specs, w hich would sometimes require cable lengths specified to within, say, a tent h of an inch.

Any recommendations?

Try:  Ask for Danny. Excellent workmanship!!  Highly recommended. Never had a problem with any of the cables they've made for us (some up to 7 GHz).

I'm using a technician that works for my employer, but our labor rates are high, hence my need to out-source this work.

Pardon my typing in my previous reply. I wanted to know if Mouser is within your range. They used to make  cables to order.

Around Seattle, it's Redmond Cable for that kind of job...

I helped a friend who was an engineer at Unique Electronics to verify that some customer supplied microwave cable was defective. This was a few years back, and I ended up buying all their obsolete test equipment. They were doing a lot of work for defense contractors and IBM at that time. I got a tour of their facility, and shown how they made some of the special wire, in house.
