Cables & Chips is on Chestnut, I think the 1800 block? on the left hand
side. They're a great resource when you need something in a hurry -- if
you call ahead with a special order cable in the morning, they'll
usually have it ready for you in an hour.
I don't have their phone number but they're in the phone book.
