All the ones I can find are 6 feet, are there any that are shorter out there?

Fitting this long cable into my rack makes things a little messier than I would like.

I have never seen any shorter ones, but at the $5 you can get them for off of monoprice.com, it may be worth it to you to try opening one up, cutting it down, and resoldering the leads.

Does your Wii plug in to the back of your receiving device horizontally? What I personally did was spool up the remaining cable, and hang it off of where it plugs in to my receiver. No mess near the Wii that way. Depending on the layout of your setup though, that may result in a funny looking back to your display maybe.
