    Cable for two phase stepper motor

    This website is good. Thank you david baird. But a problem remain for me : how can I know -the Gauge Size -the Conductor Count I had already called both manufacturers who didn't help much. They told me the 2m cable had a diameter of 6.4mm Can I use this information to calculate the Gauge Size?
