Installing cabling and snap bushings in HS

This Olflex 5 core cable is designed for repeated flexing, intended for industrial process control. Its conductors are thicker than the supplied 6 core cable cable. Only 5 cores are actually needed. The Olflex cable appears to be superior, mechanically. The supplied cable does have a foil shield, which I believe is not suitable for repeated flexing (should be braided at the very least), and cannot be connect to in any case. Snap bushings are used instead of supplied rubber grommets - belief of greater longevity. Note this Olflex cable is unshielded. Will need to check if trim servo is possible source of EMI (i.e. contains switchmode converters, etc) - this can be handled by other means.
