    Should I be concerned about getting electrical interference?

    So one of the last things I need to do is run the router (PC690) power cable through the cable carrier. Also in the cable carrier are all the other cables (limit, home, SPID speed sensor, and stepper cables).


    Should I be concerned about putting electrical interference (noise) into any of the other cables? All the other cables are shielded.

    Thanks.

    You should be fine, when I ran a router I bought a shielded IEC power cord from Amazon and ran it between the relay and router just in case. I also have all AC in one enclosure and all DC in another, but mainly because I had 2 enclosures already and neither of them was large enough for everything.

    I got lucky with a power cable for my water cooled spindle and had just enough shielded cable tray rated cable in a lot of random cnc stuff I bought at an auction for next to nothing to do the job.

    It felt pretty silly routing DC, stepper, 3 phase AC and water lines all together in the cable tracks
