What you are calling "regular multi conductor  rotator cable (#12 for the 
power and used the #14 for the positioner)" is  the kind of thing I was 
trying to find, but nobody seems to sell anything  with #12 conductors 
and other thinner conductors.

Where did you get  this stuff? Who makes it? Our local electrical supply 
house is listed on  the Belden Web site as one of their vendors but in 
fact no longer carries  Belden products -- not that Belden makes rotator 
cable that heavy anyway,  as far as I could see.
