Hi All,

I'm nearing the end of the PCB design phase for my PIC project, and now
I need to consider how to interface it with the outside world. It will
be located in an extremely high rf environment, so shielded cable will
be needed.

I'm looking for ultra-miniature shielded cable. In the past, I've used
Shielded IDE cables....which only provided partial shielding. The
salvaged IDE cables have a built in very fine copper mesh on one side of
the cable.

I need something with better shielding. It must be small diameter and
somewhat flexible.....RG174 type coax is far to large.

I've seen sub-micro sized coax in scraped wireless routers and similar
products, but never saw (or found a source for) it available for
purchase. The cable will not need to conduct rf, but it will need to
shield against rf entry into my project and it needs to be somewhat
flexible. It will carry very low currents and voltages (PIC I/O limited
to 3 volts max).

I need about 12 feet in 3 pieces. Two conductor shielded cable is ok as
well.

This is for a prototype, so I can get by with sacrificed durability
initially.

Any ideas?

TY
