Thank you for the photos, Bill. I tried to run down all the numbers and codes and came up empty as far as who makes the cable. I get the impression the cable is what's commonly used for USB and similar computer stuff. Hard to find the cable though. Mostly, searches turn up already made up cables and more than 4 conductors.
I'm thinking the XLR connector may fit/clamp okay, if I remove the outer cover and allow the connector to clamp to the braided part, or in the case of Igus CF6, on the plastic sleeve under the braid. Depending where I strip the outer cover, I can get the outer cover into the connector boot, so no inner parts are exposed. Even with 20 awg wire, some of the jackets are too large to fit in the XLR boot.
I suppose the whole exercise suggests I should be using different connectors. I went with XLR, because CNCRP used them and they are fairly compact. Now, it's harder to change, since I already have XLR panel mounts on my control box.
