I rencently moved a large cnc router, during the move someone has ripped both the encoder and tach cable on one of the motors with forklift tines. The cables are all colour coded so to make a quailty repair how would you do it? Replacing both cables would be the neatest way but it does involve a lot of time and money and im thinking it may not bring that many benifits over a solder repair. The encoder cable has about 14 wires to patch together, is there any down sides to soldering wires back together in terms of electrical shielding, I relise the outer sheilding will be missing and may have to make up for this one way or another. Maybe some aluminium foil tape or that copper stuff guitarists use to sheild their guitars.
