OK, thanks Jan. Were you implying the braid is available separately, or
would I need to gut microphone cable to get it? I haven't been able to
find any shielded control cable as surplus, and could use some shielding on
my gantry's Z axis cable. Even with a shielded power cord to the spindle
motor, it was giving intermittent pulses to the Z stepper when I was
running the two parallel in the cable carrier.

Best regards,
