Correct. How I measure my jumper cables is I have the gear where it is going to sit, get my coax, drag out enough to go from one to the other, add a bit to give a bit of slack and to account for cocking up putting a plug on and make them up. The one for my Hexbeam to the shack was done by soldering a plug on one end of a drum of Ultraflex 10, attaching it to the RF choke below the rotator, sending the mast up to its max height, rolling the cable out until it got to the point where it was going to go through the wall into the shack and cutting another half dozen or so feet off the drum to feed through the wall. Didn't use a tape measure at all, couldn't tell you how long it is other than a rough estimation.
