Source for Belden 9497 speaker wire?

Anybody know a reliable Stateside source for Belden 9497 speaker wire in lengths significantly shorter than the 1000' spools that come up when you do a Google search? Planning on trying out a new pair of crossovers for my Altec 846A Valencia's and the crossover designer recommended this particular Belden wire.

TIA!

Looks like Mouser sells 100' spools of 89259.

Anixter will quote by the foot, but imagine you need to order at least 25 to
30 feet.

Plenty on Ebay so not sure why it was hard to find.

They presently are, but when I put up the original post back in 2014, they weren't as prevalent.

Just an update, am in the process of acquiring a pair of Mast-Mutter Altec 846A crossovers from a fellow Agon-er and thankfully, he is including his Belden wiring.  So I will get to see how the new crossovers pair with a stock pair Valencia's (which I already consider to be great sounding).
