Doepfer A-100C50

You really can never have enough cables. Get all lengths available and as many of each as you can if each - you never want to be in the situation where you run out.

These come individually bagged so be prepared for a morning spent unbagging! I've ordered hundreds of doepfer cables and not had a single dud (which I can't say for other manufacturers). Any kinks in the cables can be gently ironed out by hanging over, or next to, a warm (not hot) radiator over night.

When plugged in:
A-100C80's will happily reach corner to corner on a Doepfer LC9 (9u x 84hp) system.
A-100C50's will almost reach corner to corner on a Doepfer LC6 (6u x 84hp) system, and reaches corner to corner on a LC3 (3u x 84hp) happily.
A-100C30's are great for passing signals from a module to a module in the row below, as reaches from very top of the module to very bottom of the row below when plugged in.
A-100C15's are wonderful for passing signal to the next module along in a row, and are preferable for keeping the workspace tidy of hanging patch cables. I also use these ones for dummy plugs for breaking normalled connections as they don't hang down too far and get knocked (thereby generating unwanted signal).

My first Dopefer cables and I really like the feel of them. They are solid whilst being rather slim which is a real bonus when you have some heavy patching going on!

I would highly recommend these cable due to their build quality - they feel very tough whilst being highly flexible. The slimness of these cables compard to others I'm using is a real bonus, especially when you have some heavy patching going on - there's nothing worse than being unable to get to your knobs due to a sea of cables. The slimness of these cables highly reduces this issue which is one of the key features for me.

I would like to see more colours in this length but that's hardly an issue :-)
