I know this is way late and you've already gotten your cables, but I
wanted to add this tip:

Years ago I bought a few dozen pre-made cables.   The company offered
them in various lengths
and about a dozen colors.  I ended up making my order so that I tied a
particular length to a specific
color (12ft cables were green, for example) and down the road that
made a HUGE difference in being
able to identify which cables went where at a glance.  (without the
need to get down on my hands and
knees and read the labels)
