I use this for my cables and have had no problems with it: Shielded
cable

It's about 3mm in diameter and is really flexible. The small diameter
makes for a sloppy fit in the strain relief of the plugs but I also fit
a small length of heatshrink at each end for colour coding and extra
strain relief.
