Cables

Nowhere, have I seen it listed, throughout all of the various forums on
CNC Routers. A discussion on the pro's and con's of various cable types.

Since I've purchased all of the required hardware components for my CNC
Router project. And I've purchased a portion of the electronic
components. I'm left with deciding how to wire up my 8-wire steppers.

What type of cable end would be the best, considering that it needs to
have a locking feature as well as strain relief? I have no desire to
wire up the motors directly as the machine has to be portable.

What would be considered the optimum in cabling considering it is
required to provide EMF shielding, flexibility and low resistance while
transmitting a moderately high dc voltage with a low amperage?
