    For practical reasons I needed to extend the length of the power supply cord to my STT8300. When I did, I also needed to swap to an alternative power supply on which I could raise the voltage to 14 volts to accommodate the new length. For approximately one half of the length of the power cable, I simply have two-stranded insulated cable, much like that one would use for a loudspeaker. This section of the power cable is obviously not shielded.

    My questions are: Is there any negative in using this two-stranded, unshielded cable for around half the length of the power cable? If it led to interference with the camera, what would be the signs of this in an image taken?

    I think it unlikely that you would have noise problems; however, any interference would show up as patterns that would be most visible in your bias frame.
