Solid conductor cat5 cable is similar but there are only 5 colors (8 color pairs) in cat5 cable vs the 10 color (50 color pairs) inside 25 pair or larger telco cable. Give your local telephone company a call and talk to an installer. A few feet of 50 pair or 100 pair cable will last you a VERY long time. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax www.trinity-electronics.com Custom Electronics Design and Manufacturing -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
