Trusted shielded 16/3 and 16/4 suppliers?

the standard H20 cable that they sell with their spindle and VFD has the exact same connector as the Huanyang 2.2kw 220 80mm spindle. And, it turns out that the setup I demonstrate above requires a wire that is a minimum of 16’ but can work effectively with one that size. So, it looks like, I just got the wrong cable the first time. I am going to purchase the H20 and repost here to let you know if it works as they suggest it will. After that, I will promote the heck out of it.

Thanks, Aiph5u for your information on building my own cable, but I don’t feel confident doing that for tthe Huanyang spindle because the connector is fragile, has a tight diameter, and is easy to screw up.

Hey Jeff,

my spindle (Datasheet) has a Phoenix M17 connector, and I bought what I need to make the cable myself.

If you are able to remove the back cover of the spindle,

you could replace the connector and use the serious industry-grade Phoenix M17 Motor Power connector that my spindle uses.

The matching connector on the spindle would be this one or this one for device side:

What I describe here would allow you to

  1. make your spindle cable yourself
  2. avoid any soldering, as it is crimped
  3. avoid “aviation” connectors that cannot cope with the needed thicker spindle power cables

Hey Jeff,

the forum will appreciate the shared experience. Thanks!

fit the Huanyang 2.2kw 80 mm spindle perfectly and was the exact length I needed to run through my drag chain to the VFD.
