How problematic are small cat6 cables?

What is the smallest length a cat6 ethernet cable can be? I see some on ebay that are as low as 12cm.

I have heard that even at 1m, you have connectivity problems. In the event of a connectivity problem, would packets get re-sent until they reach the other end successfully? Is there a risk of any data corruption if you are performing backups from a server and you start having connectivity issues?
