Ok, dumb question: If the 18 cm cable will probalbly work for the C8I --> Do we even need a separate cable? The included ones (pcie 3 or 4) are 18 cm or am I missing something?

Thank you for the pics of a C8I build above...!
A few questions though...
Stock PCIe Gen3 cable:
PCI-E 3.0 Riser Cable features as a 185mm slim, flat and foldable design for better cable management combining elegance with functionality. The design is compatible with PCI-E 3.0 standard, and features a high-frequency and low-resistance PCB design to reduce interference.
- 185 mm Length
- Dual reverse connectors
- Compatible with PCI-E 3.0 standard
- Vertical mount gaming PCI express
Stock PCIe Gen4 cable:
PCI-E 4.0 Riser Cable is custom fitted by
LINKUP. Fully tested and fully compatible with newly released NVIDIA RTX3000 series GPU, AMD RX6000 series GPU and AMD X570 motherboards.
- 140 mm Length
- Dual reverse connectors
- Compatible with PCI-E 4.0 standard
- Vertical mount gaming PCI express
- 90 degree angle adapter (I corrected this, says "angel" on website)
Stated length of PCIe Gen4 cable used (in the C8I build) above is 200mm...?
So is there a typo on the length of the PCIe Gen4 cable that is an accessory on the SSUPD website...?
Because if a 185mm long PCIe Gen3 cable just fits with mITX (meaning too short to work with a mDTX mobo), how is a 140mm long PCIe Gen4 cable supposed to fit...?
For use with the alternate GPU position (inverted horizontal) the manual states that an optional 180mm cable is needed, but the chassis comes with a 185mm cable (PCIe Gen3) stock...?
And in light of the issues with the NZXT H1 chassis (fire hazard from the PCIe riser cable?), is there any possibility of this being an issue with the Mesh-Licious chassis...?
Thanks...!
