   I don't know what "dino" oils are, but PVC seems to be resistant to many   
   things.

   Looks like there is more than one type of PVC.  Why this particular   
   cable company?  I wouldn't think the music industry has much in common   
   with machine tools.  Why not use a cable from one of the cable companies   
   where they specify it for industrial use around oils?

   If this cable will be continually bent and moved, don't you need a   
   special type of cable for that?  I would contact one of the cable   
   manufacturers and find out what they recommend.
