Who makes a good short interconnects? I could use about four that are 12 inches long, RCA to RCA.

All will make customs for you. I have had a few customs made.

I could not find anyone who was selling decent interconnects less than 1 meter in length. There were some 1 foot chinese wires but they were not what I was looking for (not well shielded, plastic ends, and no specs to compare to).

I have decided to build my own interconnects. I will use some quality Canare or Neutrik gold-plated RCA male connectors and Belden 9463 Twinax "Blue Hose" cable with an outside diameter of .238" (almost 1/4"). This cable has a low capacitance of 19.7 pF per foot and double shielding (100% foil plus 55% braid) over a twisted pair of AWG 20 stranded (7x28) tinned-copper conductors. I had to buy 100 feet of it so if you want a cable made up, let me know.

I still need to buy the connector compression/swaging tool, my F connector tool does not open wide enough for the RCA connectors to fit in the tool.

I'll post some pictures of the process.

How much do you want to pay? I had some made for me that were digital coax. They don't list them you have to ask.
