Has anyone ever made custom length rgbpx cables? If so where to buy the connector, terminals and punch tool?

Thanks

JST 1,25 4-pin pre-wired connectors on aliexpress. Solder them to any 4-wire cable you need.

Are they JST or Molex Picoblade?

I've made my own using Picoblade components and they work great. The catch is that Molex crimpers are $$ unless you grab some from an auction.

Under Molex brand they are called picoblade, but in some places JST 1,25 is the right name for the same thing.
There are pre-crimped with wires.

JST-SH and Molex Picoblade are not the same thing although they are very similar. The JST-SH is 1.0mm pitch whereas the Picoblade is 1.25mm. For low circuit count plugs, you can usually jam one into the other if you press hard enough. A better option, however, is to just use the correct connector.

JST 1,25 has exactly 1,25mm pitch and fits perfectly into aquacomputer RGBpx ports.

Do you have a link to that connector handy? I don't see anything mentioned on JST's website.
