Mpffff.... I typically purchase 12 gauge, fine-stranded THHN wire at
my electrical supply house. Stretch out what I need + 10%, tie one end
to a doorknob, chuck the other end in a drill and spin-to-length. A
couple of bits of heat-shrink tubing at each end, solder on the
appropriate connector (or just tin) and there you are. Cheap, quick,
custom-length, custom connectors... life is good.

Comes in many colors (and gauges), and US$77 worth of wire (at present
prices) will last quite a while. Further, neither cats nor dogs nor
vermin will take on THHN-type wire unless they are well-and-truly
desperate.
