Shielded Power Cable:
I asked about this before, and the consensus is that the shielded power cable that crosses under my chassis is shielded for a reason.
OK, but it's nasty. All crackly and cracked rubber insulation. At least there's enough length where I can trim the ends a bit if that helps.
But if I want to replace it- with what? All the old power cables in my Old Cable Box that have shielding are foil-shielded. How to terminate THAT?
Proper braided shield 1-pair 18g cable is available... but I can't find it in less than 25 foot length at $5 a foot. Nope.
