I NEED SHIELDED WIRED
#1
I need some shielded wire stat! The Megasquirt harness I bought didn't come with enough to run my VR sensor, so I'm looking for about 12' of 20-16ish gauge shielded cable.

Incredibly, it looks like my EDIS stuff might arrive today, so now I'm in a real hurry. Otherwise I'd order it.

I have called a lot of electrical shops in Harrisonburg but they can't help me unless I buy 1000' of it. Preferably, I'd like something that is individually shielded, but I could try to make due with some 1 pair shielded or something.

This type of cable is commonly found on control systems, so if you know anyone that works for Johnson Controls or in the industrial control world, could you ask them for me please? I'll happily buy it from them. I just don't want to pay $12 for wire and $30 for shipping.

Thanks!!

Pete,

my company is in the HVAC business (johnson controls rang a bell) and we do sell some wire but i don't know if it's what you need.

could you look in our catalog and let me know if you see what you are looking for? if you do, we probably have a sample of it in our building somewhere and i may be able to just grab a couple feet of it.


our catalog:

what you want is probably on page 131 and 132

Do you have any shielded Cat5 around your business? Tried an audio store like Myer Emco (Sp??)
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

We keep lots of random wire and such in the parts department, I'll ask tomorrow and see if we have it.

Big thanks to Jeremy and Jason for the help! Jason hooked up up with some shielded 18-2. There's a good chance I'll see if it works this evening! :-).
