I believe only Felsted makes these cables and they are available from Kobelt dealers in whatever length you require.

Note: Only the 'master' control is capable of disengaging the shifter from the throttle for revving the engine in neutral. These controls are smooth and reliable.

I have these on my boat. Between the pilothouse and the stern docking station the cable length must be over 40' with a number of sweeping bends. Part of what makes this system so nice is that it's a pull/ pull. Whichever way you are moving the lever, you are pulling a cable instead of pushing which takes more effort.
