Flexible metal conduit or cable - Source?

I'm looking for flexible metal conduit or cable, the really flexible style like the type used for a CNC machine or for a DRO pickup.

They sell various types on Amazon etc, however it looks more like the not very flexible style more like AC90/BX?

One of them will be for 2 conductor power, #16AWG
One of them will be for 6 conductor signalling, #22AWG or so

Need perhaps 2m of each

Something like this:

 
Like this (I'm assuming that Ø10 = 10mm, plenty big for what you want it for):

Look in the plumbing section. There are various lengths and diameters of hoses that are armored, liquid tight and designed to be repeatedly bent and moved around. Unlike most of the flexible electrical conduit which is designed to be bent only once or very occasionally

probably you want to use stranded wire too
