Default Belkin 24 inch Ultra ATA Hard Drive round cables look good, but I can't find them for sale anywhere.

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSecti...tion_Id=201659

I installed a PCI Controller Card for two hard drives, and installed the drivers
for two operating systems for the controller card. So when I boot up, I get an
error message saying that there are no hard drives connected to the PCI
card...because there aren't any hooked up, duh. The boot continues OK after
that. My problem is that the 18 inch ribbon cables were too short to reach the
PCI card from the hard drives! I need something longer for this Dell Dimension
4300. So I'm thinking 24 inch cables could do it. So I found that Belkin makes a
new kind of cable for controller cards and hard drives. But I can't find anybody
who sells it! I've checked Circuit City, Best Buy, Staples and none of them sell
24 inch long cables. Now I am forced to order online I guess, and what if I need
something longer? Would the return policy allow me an exchange?

Where do I find 24 inch cables from here? The Belkin online store just gave me
links to dozens of stores, and after half a dozen tries I'm coming up empty.

Any decent retailer should have 24 inch ATA cables available.
