Stepper Motor Wiring (Screened?)

[pequod]

Thanks for the replies. I'll be running 4.2A approx 1.5 metres through 3 axis, so maybe it's not necessary. At £3 +VAT per metre, it needs more consideration, or if I can get it cheaper, maybe I might as well.

I don't have record of how many conversion we have done but it's quite a few, none have used screened cable and we have had no issues.

As a lower cost way to shield cables you can use Knited Wire mesh wrap.
10 meters of it is about £15.
you can get it from RS.
