After a source of small diameter black/red cable...

[daz]

Hi gang

I need some very small diameter 2-core black/red figure of 8 cable for my 3D printer - the sort of size that the small 40mm x 40mm x 10mm cooling fan needs.

As far as I can make out, the external diameter is 1.1/1.2mm, which I think equates to a 0.2mm2 per core. No more than 1 amp rating - it is only running the small fan after all. Like this https://www.3dprinterspares.co.uk/2-pin-jst-to-2-pin-dupont-fan-extender-cable-90cm-133-p.asp but after a long length so I can make my cable to fit...

I can't seem to get the right search spec into eBay or Google to find a supplier!

Anybody have a link?

I could ask the above supplier to see if they have a reel, but I suspect they just buy them as pre-made..

Thnaks!

For a fan you are looking at around 24AWG which you will also find between 22AWG and 28AWG in ethernet cables. Here is a link on Ebay for cable of different lengths that will help.

On my printers I have ran an 8 core 26AWG cable which can then be used for nozzle cooling fan, part cooling fan(s) and levelling sensor.

I hadn't thought of that Grant! Yes, that would be much neater....!

Thanks!!
