The "30 cm" Doepfer cable I just pulled out to measure is almost 34 cm tip-to-tip, and
just under 27 cm if you measure just the actual cable, excluding the thicker 'grip' part
(sorry I don't know the terminology). From the base of each metal plug, the length is 31
cm. Likewise the "50 cm" cable I measured is, measuring the whole length except the
actual metal plugs, 51 cm.

Based on this way of measuring, I think "18 cm" or "18.5 cm" would be an ideal length for
a short cable, perfect for patching up two utility modules that are right next to each other,
which I'm sure many of us are doing quite often.

But if I had to choose between 15 cm and 20 cm I'd choose 15 (which is what I voted
for)....
