If not off the shelf any place like Jaycar or a decent PC shop (That builds PC's rather than just retailing them) should be able to make you one up to length. Stripping and crimping terminations on them is a pretty simple affair.
I get it, so you buy the cable and the plugs and strip and crimp the plugs on.

I'll keep that in mind if just a cable doesn't work.
