    Yes when done correctly using shielded cables with correct grounding precautions taken then running VFD cable loosely along side other cables isn't a problem. I do try to run some separation by placing water pipes between cables but still there are places they rub and meet which can't be avoided.

    Regards the Spindle connection then I suggest making some form of bracket to help take the strain off the connector and cables. Here's how I do it.!
