bigcitymusic offers good patchcords in many lengths and colors.

My used A-100 came with a few gray, thin patchcords that have
intermittent connectivity problems. The ones from bigcitymusic are
fine.

For immediate gratification, you can find patch cords (I think
they're 18") at Radio Shack. A little more expensive than the online
cords, and they are uselessly stereo, but they work great and are
quite durable and flexible.
