Hey Tom,
you mean when someone comes up with the idea to combine this trim router with its unshielded household appliance cable with a drag chain?
I don’t hope anyone will do that if they have to choose a new cable anyway
Use shielded cables to avoid electrical interference. Not doing so might
result in unexpected behaviour or the unit.Use shielded wiring for the motor cable and all analog and digital control
lines.Allow the effective shield area of these lines to remain as large as possi-
ble; i.e., do not strip away the shield (screen) further away from the cable
end than absolutely necessary.
– Omron MX2 User’s Manual
Only use shielded cables suitable for drag chains with a core cross-section
designed for the rated motor current. The cable shield must be grounded on
both sides.

…And the cables that Onefinity puts to the steppers, if they are already using those flimsy tin-plated Molex plugs, are they at least shielded (not that I won’t throw them away as a whole anyway)?
