I am looking for a source to purchase some small diameter flexible metal conduit and not having much success. If any of you are familiar with DROs, typically on metal working machines, you know what I'm talking about. This conduit is usually around 5mm ID and 7mm OD and is very smooth on the outside as opposed to the larger aluminum conduit sold in the electrical section of the box stores. If anyone knows of a source I'd appreciate hearing about it.

From the world of alarm systems, there's that sort of stuff. Here's three examples.

Thank you all for your input. I realize now that I should have expanded more on my original post, sorry. I was looking for several feet on this type conduit and not short pieces like the door loops. I did look at quite a few sources like Zoro, Grainger and McMaster-Carr. I had a chance to do more searching this morning and came across someone on eBay selling a 20 foot piece of stainless flex conduit, 5mm ID and 7mm OD, that will satisfy my requirements. Again, thank you all for taking the time to help me in my search.

I was pretty shocked by some of those prices. eBay often comes through!
