Re: Grayhill Encoders: wire gauge + connectors

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I know I can get multi-conductor ribon cable from numerous sources. I've ordered a few different kinds in the past, but they've been less than ideal for one reason or another (e.g. insulation is too thick, not flexible enough, poor quality, too expensive).

I was hoping other teams who have gone through similar experiences and settled on specific piece parts that they routinely order, would be able to share their knowledge and save the rest of us from having to repeat the process.

I would expect a large number of teams order 24-26awg, 4+ conductor wire annually for sensor wiring. A reliable, inexpensive, source and part # would be a great piece of information for many teams (mine included).
