PWM cables: too fragile? what fixes/precautions?
Has anyone else (over the years, or lately) been having problems with PWM cables going/being bad?
I don't think that my team is particularly hard on stuff (especially things that are ~$5 a piece) but each year we seem to run into problems with some the PWM cables working only intermittently, or just not working at all.
...and before I get the warnings... No, We do not do any of the following:
* route them beside power wires
* do things to/put them in places that would take off insulation
* fold/crease the wires
* use them as "structural" or "fastening" members, etc...
After 5 years of this same problem, I am guessing that this afflicts most other teams as well. What works to counteract this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
-Bill
