I need to replace a cable (16-conductor, 28-ish awg, stranded, shielded) on
an industrial machine. Its used to connet a hand controller (small box
with rotary encoder and pushbuttons) to the main control panel.

The original is a coiled (a la telephone handset) but the replacement
doesnt need to be. During use the cable will be splashed with lubricating
oil (think dino motor oil) so in the short-term (5 years) it needs to be
resistant to this.

I found this:

which is cable for the music-concert industry (audio mixers and such).

I cant find any rubber-insulated cables (a la SJ or SO cables). How
resistant will PVC-jacket be to oil?

Thanks.
