[Milsurplus] [MRCA] rubber covered audio cable for pl55 and pl68

[Peter Gottlieb]

There are industrial robotics cables that would work.  They are super flexible, 
designed for continuous movement, come in any number of conductors, and 
available shielded.  I work in electronics design and have gotten samples "for 
government projects" (wink-wink, hobby use) from the reps.  Keep an eye out at 
flea markets and always go through the wire sections of surplus stores as you 
will find suitable cable there as well.  For example, last year I picked up a 
small 100 foot spool of rubberized 3 conductor shielded "microphone" cable at 
Medelsohn's which is steadily getting used up.  Also check out the shielded 
cabling with M8 and M12 connectors such as from Phoenix, super high quality, 
meant for flexing, nice shielding and a great selection of conductors.  The only 
annoying thing about those is that the standard color is yellow.
