Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

"Shortest length" IC can be enticing, until a year or two later is is too d*mn short!!

SO yeah you buy some good cables and make certain they are all as short as possible. And then, say a year or two later you are cussing because you then have a few several inches too short to work.
Typical.
I used to make IC the exact length I needed. Then I realized it was a trap and a PITA to do so.
Now I buy standard 1 meter, and a few 1.5 meter or two meter as a matter of course. Always.

As an aside: You never really know what a wire 'sounds' like until you hear it in a five or six or seven meter length. The long cable really gives you a taste of what the wire does to the sound. For some cables, it is just wayyyy too much. Turning a 'good thing' into a over the top POS.
