Also it would mean that I have to keep a stock of 2,3,6,8,10 and 15m etc where as one box of cable and 5 minutes crimping the ends will do any length I want. Sure I carry some common lengths because the cable from the wall socket to the computer should be multistrand (for under 10m) as it is more durable and making up a cable every time would be daft. But for one off longer lengths that are going into a reasonably static environment I make them every time.
I bet you only do that because you bill twice, once for your time making the cable and then again for the cable itself at some huge pc world style markup ;)
