Re: shielding for steppers

Hi all,

If one managed to get one's hand on shielded 4 core cable of suitable
capacity, with one end somehow properly crimped, how then would be
the best way to connect to the cables coming out from the motor?

Solder the extreme ends of the cable, thus avoiding cutting the
cables, but leaving some portion of the cables unshielded.

OR cut the cables short near the motor end (and risk regreting the
action in the future)

Or somewhere in between, is there an ideal length to leave?

Why, oh why don't motor manufacturer provide screw terminals on the
motor for cable connection?
