With higher Power cables like from VFD I run bit of silicone tube between, often it's water pipes, but anything that can keep a bit of separation really.

I find those that have the most troubles with noise are the neat freaks that need everything tied and bound together with cable ties or tape.!!

Ric What voltage are you powering the Prox sensors with.? . . . . Running 24V on signal cables makes a big difference to noise handling has well.!! Often folks use 5V for Limits etc signal cables and get noise, esp if they haven't been too careful with ground or cable routing.!
Well, whilst sorting out what ports to use and testing them i used 5V (just to keep things simple and at the right voltages for the board)but they wernt on the machine, it wasnt untill i did all the fiddly threading of the wires through the frame and the cable chain that i got problems, i then tried it on 12v as that is what i wanted to use anyhow, but still hadnt decided how to bring that back down to 5v for the bob.
