Flexible Wire Suppliers

Folks:

I did a search and the last thread I see on wire suppliers is from 2007. I'm sure things have changed a bit since then.

I'm interested in wire to connect my Victor/Jaguar to a motor. In my current application the motor will move as the mechanism moves, so flexibility of the wire is key. The other requirement in my particular application is the wire needs to be #12AWG. Basic KOP or even TEW wire seems a bit too stiff. I did a Digi-Key search and found Silicone wire, but at over $200 for a 100 foot roll, it seemed a bit rich for my team's budget.

Anyone care to shared preferred suppliers of flexible wire in this or any other size?

Jim
