AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a vendor for a specialty wire to create an extension cable for a lab instrument, requiring seven conductors with specific shielding and voltage specifications. The desired configuration includes five 28G conductors with a 95% braided shield, and a sub-assembly of two twisted pair conductors also shielded. Suggestions include considering shielded Cat-5E or Cat-6 cables, although these may not meet the braided shielding requirement. An alternative option is to use metal braided sleeving over a custom wire bundle. The user is looking for an off-the-shelf solution that meets these unique specifications.

I'm looking for a specialty wire to make an extension cable for an instrument at the lab. Where can I find a vendor that will sell me this type of wire (or similar):

7 conductors total
5 conductors, 28G + sub assembly (carry low voltage DC)
95% braided shield over all wire
Sub assembly:
**2 conductors, 28G twisted pair (carry ~400V @ 25kHz)
**95% braided shield over sub assembly

I can't find anyone who makes a shielded cable inside another shielded cable. Help in finding a vendor that has this type of product off-the-shelf would be appreciated!

Welcome to PhysicsForums!

I can't make a specific recommendation, but maybe something like (shielded) Cat-5E or Cat-6? However, I think most of these tend to be foil shielded, instead of braid shielded (if that makes a difference for your application).

Alternately, perhaps some metal braided sleeving to go over your own custom wire bundle?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
