I got my s-plus from thomann, and will sooneget another (they fill up really fast!)
thomann have bundles of colorful patch cables. Get 90cm or so. Bit longer if your mixer/gear is further from the bay.

Get the cables with straight plugs. There is just about room for L shaped plugs in the s-plus but it is uncomfortably tight and stressing cables and sockets.

The good thing with with the s-plus is the normalli'ing swithch on the front. You won't really know exactly how to set it up so changing the normalling type is pretty nice to have

Finnaly, I just bought the 3 samson's + 4x8 multi-channel mono Cordial Jack-Jack cables for my MPC, S950 and mixer. Bought it of a french website that was making promo on the cables (I love Cordials, they're great) plus I didn't have to pay shipping costs 8)
Will see for the rest If I make 'em myself.

Just saw that my mixer and the patchbays are balanced while most of my gear is unbalanced. Hope that I won't have problems with these unbalanced jacks

Patch cables I can vouch for are these GLS colored ones. There's serviceable which is a MUST for me. There a pretty strong springy rubber. Used em for years, no problems.

Afterall, I ended up cancelling the order I made (they didn't have the products in stock u_u) and ordered only Cordial balanced cables in different sizes from Thomann (I researched and saw that unbalanced outputs and balanced cables were nearly all the time compatible). Didn't cost me too much, so quite happy 8)
