Default Do 18" mini Digilink cables exist?

I've been getting parts in for our new system this week. The HDX card and HD software came in today. I also ordered an extra mini Digilink cable, 12 feet in length.

But the box for the extra cable had a list of check boxes on the front of it. One of the options was 18" length.

Do mini Digilink cables come in 18" lengths? In my pre purchase reserarch and planning, every vendor that I talked to told me that the shortest length was 12 feet. I would have ordered a pair of those 18" cables instead if I had known that it was possible.

Do they exist?

Is it possible that the shorty only comes WITH and HD or OMNI IO?
