    Source for shielded wire?

    Hey guys.
    Where might I find some wire or cable for using between the Xylotex and the 6 wire stepper motors that I have?
    Am I correct in assuming that it needs to be sheilded? Thanks in advance.

    two sources that I use for most of my electronic needs are:
    www.mouser.com
    and
    www.digikey.com
    Shielding on your power leads is not an absolute requirement, but properly grounded it won't hurt either.

    robotic regards,

    Thanks for the response and links. I looked at them and it seems that they only sell 500 to 1000' reels of cable. I think the most I could possibly ned is 50'. I can order it by the foot at Mcmaster Carr. What specific type should I be looking for?

    LeeWay,

    I have some you might be interested in. I was selling it here (classified section) for a while. Reasonable. PM me and I will send you the details.

    Thanks for the links, Guys, and thanks to Chris. He had some that he was able to sell to me. A very good price, comparing to the Ebay link. If anyone else needs some, you might try PMing CBCNC. He did say that he had hundreds of feet.
