Disclaimer: I REEEELY HATE to mention this company, especially to this
newsgroup, BUT:

Digital Equipment Corp. makes Ethernet transceiver/AUI/thick/15-pin cables
in 2-meter and 5-meter lengths.  Assuming that you and your local sales
rep are not on speaking terms, you can order by calling 1-800-DIGITAL.
The model is BNE4C, and the prices a year or so ago were $55 and $70.

DON'T tell 'em I sent you!
