Bart, we use something that looks a lot like that, but it's not from Alpha - I'll have to ask exactly what it is. The stuff we use ends up about as flexible as the "high flex" silicon heat shrink. If this is the same, the outer "cloth" style surface has a pretty high drag coefficient - I'm not sure it would be very good if it were rubbing against anything.
Also, if you are looking for some damned nice, high flex cable, take a look at Lapp Cable's "Olflex Number Coded YY Control Cable" - it's damned close to test lead sorta material, and designed for high cycle life. I've used a lot of the 1mm, 5 conductor version for Nema23 motors on moving axis.
