Hi,
I got my cable from BaneBots today ( 4x10ft lengths) and I ordered the 24awg which is a fraction thinner than the Bioloid cable but is slightly more flexible and fits the the metal terminals perfectly.
I got the metal terminals from Farnells and am still waiting delivery of the crimp housings.
I live in the UK but BaneBots in the US was the only place that I could get the right cable.

Cheers

Dave

Yes , use this cable 18AWG high strand count silicone wire.
This is good stuff. Very flexable much like the orginal Robotis wires which Robotis makes custom. The connectors are actually made for smaller gauge wire but the 18AWG is what Robotis uses and its what I use and recommend.

You can get the crimper from mouser.com here bear in mind they aren't cheap and mouser is the least expensive I've found.

I hope this helps.
