Does anyone have a source for a reonsably priced 6 conductor wire that can handle 300 or 600volts?

Hi.Give me the part no. of Mouser, be it a Belden or Alpha, so that I can cross it for you. If the overall diameter of the 6-wire cable too big an issue?
low current. <.5a @280v and heater 1A@12v.. so not really worried. I figure 18ga should be fine for such low numbers (its a preamp)... The bigger question is. is there a way to get cable without spending $100 for a spool.And what do people usually use for connection that hold up to high voltage?
Hi.#18 16 strands hook up wire will do the job. Get Tew #18 stranded, rated for 600V UL/CSA. Should be available from the
Source or Radio Shack cheaply in sorted colours in small short length coils. Make sure you twist up the 12VAC 1A heater wires & run seperastely from the other 4 HV wires. You can have them run in two groups, each group bundled up in a heat shrink tube.So it will do the job cheaply & efficiently.
If we are talkng about higher currents up to 3A AC heater supply or so, standard skinny hook up wires may not be the best choice.
I would get industrial grade portable power cable, about 1/2" thick:- SOOW #18 6 conductors, extruded in a black heavy duty rubber jacket, 600V UL/CSA rated, from your local electrical contractors supplies stores. They may entertain you with small lenghts of a few meters affordably.
