Aluminium Profile Type Router - Initial questions

[JAZZCNC]

The good news - I now have 4 closed loop steppers and drivers - The bad news is that means more questions:)
So the motors come with pre terminated wires - oddly a 2M motor and 3m encoder one. To extend the motor one I assume I just use CY cable ? The existing cable does not seem to be shielded.
But with most people using CY cable right from motor to cabinet, should I be cutting shorter and using a longer run of CY - or does the closed loop negate the need for shielding?

I tend to cut the motor wires short and use shielded cable, but I have used them with the supplied cable and not had any problems. If it was me and you don't have any CY cable then I'd use it as is. You can always change it later if gives you trouble.
The encoder cable is usually shielded so it won't give you any trouble.

Same with the trial prox sensor I have, it's pre cabled with non shielded wire, so do people cut short and join?

Cut these short as possible and use shielded cable.

Also before I ask the manufacturer - does it matter on the polarity the AC connections to the driver are - there are no marking or instructions on Phase / Neutral, assuming it won't matter ?

Doesn't matter it's AC alternating current so it bounces both ways so no polarity.
