A while back I was looking to purchase some of that 3 wire ribbon cable to splice in the middle of the 6 foot 5 inch cable as I need about 9.5 feet from prospective HES location and display location.
Its part of the reason I tested mine, put it back in the box, and mostly forgot about it.
Was kind of hoping something would show up, but I do have some cat5 cable to sacrifice.
I do wonder about interference, since mine will be primarily for when engine is running, and if some ferrites/ twisting the cables would be beneficial to help prevent incorrect readings.
Hoping to run the cable once, not find it getting interference/ giving wacky readings, and then trying to remedy.
What would be ideal from a RF factor? twisted pairs ferrites and a sheathed shielded cable?
