   I appreciate that this is, enviably, wonderful cable. But it comes in minimum   
   size of 20 awg. If only it met all my requirements.   
      
   My need is for a hand-controller (think Atari joystick)–carrying milliamps.   
   20 awg is overkill at the expense of weight, diameter, and (arguably) greater   
   flexibility.   
      
   Thanks.
