Appreciate the responses.

I was initially intending upon using the cable, until I had to wrestle
with tinning/soldering each separate wire; tried this with very narrow
heat shrink tubing to cover. Difficult to say the least (and I said
plenty more than that!).

Thanks for all the info.

Cut the two ends of the computer cable at an extreme angle thus / (So that
the individual joins are not adjacent).
Then tip solder each wire to the end of the next wire without insulating it.
Should be possible to stagger at least eight joints per inch so they do not
touch each other? That means that 24 joins would be staggered over about
three inches.
Hot glue and/or glue an insulating strip across the joined area and glue to
the frame so it does not move around. The frame does not have to be
circular; can be square, hexagonal, octagonal etc.
For example I think I heard of one loop wound around the perimeter of a
door. Moving the door on its hinges changed the direction of the loop!
