This looks like I'm going to have to tack at least
3 types of cables together?
1. Regular 3-core (perhaps 26 to 28 gauge?) for the data (14,15) and ground (13)
2. Coax for video (12) and ground (4/5/6) and shield
3. Thicker core for power (7,8) and ground (4/5/6)
And probably sheath the entire conflagaration in shrink tubing?
You could just use a hunk of 8x22ga cable for the power and data, and
a piece of the thin (2mm) coax - then you only have two things to keep
together. It doesn't matter if the data wire is heavier than it needs
to be, and only having one such cable might be easier to manage.
Since heat shrink isn't particularly flexible, something I like to use
is the spiral-slit cable wrap. I picked up a reel of it a few years
ago and only use a few feet at a time.
