Hosa makes side by side jacks and side by side with on offset jacks. While not a cable it can cut that distance down easily. The EBS Flat Patch Cables were mentioned previously, the shortest of which is the PCF-10, 10 cm/3.93".

Ok thanks @Rickter --> I found this online (but it's expensive!) https://www.amazon.com/DAddario-Solderless-Custom-Cable-plugs/dp/B001PGXKE6
EDIT: Ok, thanks for the suggestions, I just ordered the shortest EBS flat cables, which should work for me.

For you tiny pedalboard owners, I'm clearing some gear out. I have a Plutoneium Bass Chi-Was-Wah that fits great on compact boards in the classifieds if anyone is looking for one.
I'm currently not using a pedalboard right now, but really hesitant to sell my Pedaltrain Mini (it was modded by Ninzan years back and has the power and a wireless mounted underneath).

Thanks! It's tricky to find something the H9 doesn't do well. Even its tuner is top tier. Probably the single most versatile small pedalboard tool out there. Although it feels like borderline cheating. I generally only keep 10 presets on it at a time to keep that "small pedalboard" feeling.
I've looked into those too. Have seen mixed reviews, so be cautious. The EBS cables seem to be highly reliable and respected. Don't have them myself, so I cannot verify. Personally I'm using the D'Addario patch cables. Problem is that the shortest one offered is 6" and the right angle plug is pretty big. Personally going to go with either MXR low profiles or the EBS flat patch cables once money permits.

Learning to solder was one of the better decisions I've made in my life. Custom length patch cords are easy.

Quick question: do the Eventide H9 fit a Pedaltrain Nano+ vertically? Considering the dimensions it should come out a little bit on top, right?
Sh@t, that is a great idea
I have access to a free print all you want 3D printer at work
Guess what I'm doing next week...
Yeah man, I had the idea a couple years ago because I generally don't wear shoes when I play at home, and some footswitches have very stiff action. So several prototypes later (and discovering that not all switches are the same) I've got a helpful thing - and other people seem to like them too, so that's nice.
Yeah, the mooer ones are variable in how well they fit, depending on the pedal ... will bear that in mind when buying some more.
Oh yeah - the majority of pedal switches have heads that are 10mm diameter and 5mm depth, but some, like Zoom and Tech21, use 11mm diameter heads, and some others use a more rounded 9mm, like momentary switches. Barefoot uses set-screws, Mooers I think are sort of flanged on the inside, and mine I've just got separate models for each switch size.
More downsizing!
I planned to use my Cioks DC 5 as a power supply but I was afraid that it could get too hot at the bottom so close to the ground. Instead I searched for my old Boss power supply and an Y-cable to power the B7KU and the OmnicabSim from the Polytune. Maybe I'll upgrade to cables which smaller jacks but I really like the idea of daisychaining those pedals because my board became soooo light (and I have no noise problems).

Oh, Crom. I'm really happy with how this is coming along.
Nice, the American paired with an OmniCabSim gave me the sound I’ve been searching for forever.
Not familiar with the omnicabsim. Luckily I’m both out of pedalboard space, and I’m completely happy with my sound right now.
My Nano at one point was tuner, comp, American, radial SB-2. Awesome set up.
