I got a perfect patch cable from Sound Professionals in the US and am using it successfuly with the Monster low profile charger.
They do high quality patch cables in various lengths that you can order online and they also have gold plated connectors for added quality.

I ordered the 24" cable - but you might be able to get away with the 8" one depending on where you're keeping your iPod (mine is kept next to the gear lever in a Brodit cradle so that I can see what's playing and flick tracks- works a treat)
