Aspects of the present invention provide an improved cable having a reduced cross section while continuing to provide high voltage (noisy) power signals alongside low voltage (noise-susceptible) data signals. The improved cable can be used for power delivery and communications between a motor and a drive in an industrial control system. The reduced cross section advantageously improves handling. By providing separate groups between a group delivering the power signals and a group providing the data signals, thereby enforcing a physical separation, and by twisting together individual conductors of the group delivering the power signals with the group providing the data signals and the groups providing the separation, the reduced cross section can be achieved while continuing to minimize noise and interference onto the data signals due to the power signals.
