The problem with cable is copper is so expensive and most 4 conductor will likely be $1 per foot or more now.
Good Luck,

I just purchased four Rex RS34-600 steppers for my first cnc project, which will be used in conjunction with a G-Rex and G-203V's. The motors are rated at 7A, 1.82V in parallel. The schedules I've seen would seem to indicate that I should use 14-16 gauge wiring, and as most folks are aware, it should be shielded.
Problem: Where to find cable with four conductors that is shielded, without having to buy a 500' roll of the stuff ? ! ? !
Anyone have a good source out there?
Thanks much...

look at any surplus eletronic surplus or millirary surplus place it may be more or larger wire but usually it will be inexpensive
Thanks guys for the help. I'll look at those sources to see what I can find. My goal is to not have to buy a 500' roll for a small cnc project... :-)

I used stranded 18-4 w/shield from Home Depot. It's used for sound/security wiring. I'm thinking they had 16-4 also, don't remember if its shielded or not.

Thanks...I'll check it out. The stuff The Smurfs have isn't shielded, so I don't expect much more from Agent Orange. It's worth a look anyway, they're only 5 minutes away.
maybe one of you could answere this for me, bipolor stepper motor 2.2 volt /4.6 amp. What would be the best recomended wire gage to use at approximately 20 feet in length.I,m using 20 gage right now but wonder if I should be using 18/4 multy strand instead,thanks.
