Flexible high strand count silicone wire in bulk

[TheRift]

I'm looking for very flexible high strand count silicone wire.

It's the same kind of wire commonly used on drones, etc. It has a high strand count and soft silicone sleeve both of which make it extremely flexible with good conductivity. Looking to buy about 10-20m of the stuff in sizes 0.5qmm (20AWG), 1.5qmm (16AWG), 2.5qmm (14AWG) and maybe 0.75qmm (18AWG).

I can get it from hobby and drone shops, but unfortunately costs gets a little too high with prices heading north of R70/m at some places. And it's almost always in 1m pre-cut lengths.

Low strand count silicone wire is easy to get. I currently have 30 strand 16AWG which is much more workable than the regular PVC wire, but I can definitely do with something much more flexible.

Anyone know a local supplier of such things?

Not sure in what area you are, have a look at Mantech (their website is finicky to navigate)
https://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=352M0244 (per meter I think)
https://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=52M0064 (per 100m roll it seems)

Robitics (https://www.robotics.org.za) could also help, or communica.

If none of those have what you need, try rs-components

Was at Mantech today. Nightmare. Waiting time is an hour even though I ordered ahead.

Unfortunately they have no stock of those and they are very low count. I picked up 30-strand silicone wire from Consortium Cables instead. It will do for the time being, but it's the same as Mantech wire. Much better than pvc cable, though.

I'll check Communica as well as RS.

Thanks.

I reckon someone is holding these cables for the drone fans. Super quality cable, but seriously charging a premium on them.
