Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: shielded cable

I purchased some of the CA-3934 cables for the setup I'm building.
A couple of things worth mentioning are that there isn't any strain
relief on the connector end and that the shielding is foil with a
drain wire. It's been mentioned on the list that foil shielding has a
tendency to break due to the continual flexing of the cable. Other
than that they seem to be working fine for now.
