Unipolar stepper motor wiring to the drive is a bit harder.
Stepper motor cable size.
These cables are color coded such that the a wire is red the a wire is black the b wire is yellow and the b wire is purple.
Nema stepper motor sizes depend on the frame size of the stepper motor.
If you step down in size from 18 to 22 the smaller the wire and then you are taking the chance of the wire not carrying the current and catching things on fire.
A lot a people get confused on wire sizes as they think the larger the number the larger the wire but it is the opposite the smaller the number the larger the wire.

To use 6 wire motor in a unipolar configuration you only need to connect center taps together.
And that connected center taps will be the fifth wire and you can use it as 5 wire stepper.
Hong111 bipolar stepper motor cables 6pcs 1000mm stepper xh2 54 terminal motor link 4pin 6pin for nema 17 fit for reprap 3d printers cnc by hong111 great stuff by trevorl very good quality arrived on time works very well if they dont suit your stepper motors simply take a small pin press down on the connectors tabs and rearrange them.
This 4 wire bipolar stepper has 1 8 per step for smooth motion and a nice holding torque.
The following information is intended as a general guideline for wiring of the stepper motors.
Be aware that when you route power and signal wiring on a machine or system radiated noise from the nearby relays transformers and other electronic devices can be introduced into the stepper motor and encoder signals input output communications and other sensitive low.
Connecting 4 wire motors connecting 4 wire stepper motors requires connecting a and a to one of the motor coils and b and b to the other motor coil.
