where do you guys buy your wire and cable?

[KTP]

Do any of you have an online source for small lengths of multiconductor cable to be used for AC servo connections?

Specifically, I need 6 conductors, 14AWG or 16AWG, shielded. I need to make 3 cables, about 6 feet long each, so 20 feet shoudl do me.

Digikey, Jameco do not seem to carry anything like this.

thanks

You can try those,i'm sure mouser and newark has the cable,but not sure about the length.
Not sure if Mcmaster has shielded but they sell cable by the foot.

If it's a high flex [cont. movement] usage then try www.Igus.com
I've got several hundred [~500'] feet of the stuff in my mill.. works great
and haven't had an issue w/ noise [to date anyway]. I've even got HF VFD cables running right beside my encoder and limit switch cables in my cable chains.. never been an issue..

I've got a link at home to some high flex wire for servos. If I forget to post it later, PM me.
