Im looking for the best place to get 6 BNC to BNC LMR400 cables probably no longer than 24 inches.
Any help will be great, Thank You

You can get custom cables made here:
But 24 inches of LMR-400 is probably overkill for just about anything. For that short a run, you won't see much in the way of difference between LMR-400 and something like LMR-200, RG-58, etc. LMR-400 is kind of stiff, so if you are going to use it for jumper cables, it's going to put a lot of strain on the connectors.

Are you sure you REALLY need LMR-400 for such short cables? Any difference in cable loss between 2 feet of LMR-400 coax and a quality RG-8x or LMR-240 coax has to be tiny. The LMR-400 coax is rather stiff to work with and finding BNC connectors for a large diameter cable might be a challenge.

LMR-240, 24 inches at 928MHz = 0.154dB of loss.
LMR-400, 24 inches at 928MHz = 0.079dB of loss.
That's 0.075dB difference.
And much less stress on the antenna connectors for the scanners.
Even less loss at lower frequencies...

RG8X will work forsure! Thank you all for the input!
