weirdoku Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Anyone know where I can find the type of wire like in the photo below? It's common in guitar pickups. It's 4 core, one bare wire and shielded. Outer diameter is about 3mm. I need reels of this stuff, like 100 meters. Doesn't have to be 3 mm OD, 4 mm OD preferably but must be shielded. I manage to find something similar in maplins but it's 22 awg and OD is over 4.5mm which is too fat. Anyone?

weirdoku Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Both cables have too many cores. Yes I can just not connect them but that's half a cable wasted essentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/multicore-industrial-cable/7404544/ This is all I could find on this website with 4 cores and a drain wire in this size - and it's not cheap! £140 for 50m. You can get much cheaper, but at the 4.5mm mark again Edited April 22, 2016 by ManxTrialSpaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Do a search for "Control Cable". CY cable would probably do the job. Good prices here: http://www.csecables.com/acatalog/Flexible-Control-Cable.html Edited April 24, 2016 by David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some at farnell, orderd it earlier, hopefully their measurements and tech spec sheets are correct. Thanks for the help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 im not 100% sure, but i dont think cat 5 is usually shielded? Cat 5e or cat 6 might do the job though. You can buy it shielded. Is there no identification on the insulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
