Cat8 is then what you want. Each tp is shielded individually. They are thick and hard, however, and bulky. If your setup is stationary cat8 is an excellent choise. Let me check the mosfets. > [@hbozyq](#): > > ed Cat.5 ethernet cable? It might work nice aswell but cheaper It may.

The hardest seems to be MCUs frowning But also many of the driver ICs favoured by SimpleFOC users seem to be unavailable… Certainly, I look forward to more of TIs [DRV8316](https://www.ti.com/product/DRV8316) (integrated FETs), and also the [AMT49106](https://www.allegromicro.com/en/products/motor-drivers/bldc-drivers/amt49106-amt49107) (external FETs) looks cool if it ever becomes available… In the meantime, the following seem to be obtainable, and also look very cool: the [TMC6140](https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/2/256/TMC6140_datasheet_rev1_00-2448835.pdf) - 3 phase gate driver the [MP6530](https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/2/277/MP6530-1384555.pdf) - 3 phase gate driver and the [MP6540HA](https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/2/277/mono_s_a0011470959_1-2277179.pdf) - 3 phase … > [@Pipe](#): > > H-Bridges with some mosfet like the IRFB7740PBF Discrete mosfets have never been in shortage. Challenge is to design the board, as they require drivers and an MCU to drive them. Any mosfet would work. If you need high voltage, high current mosfet, there is one I really like, it’s available for SMT, you don’t have to burn your fingers soldering it: JLC part number C108964, 300A / 100V ![image](https://community.simplefoc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4918bef52eed616b3e4914c4720f516579303546.jpeg) > **[1810010717\_Infineon-Technologies-IPT015N10N5\_C108964.pdf](https://datasheet.lcsc.com/lcsc/1810010717_Infineon-Technologies-IPT015N10N5_C108964.pdf)** > > 1061.79 KB If you are not constrained for space, this is the sledge-hammer that could drive a 12-inch nail spike into a railroad tie. Six of those could power a golf cart. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.simplefoc.com/t/pc817-as-pwm-isolator/1422)._
