Eterc, that cable is not the good FEP insulation type which is the type that is called for in all the DIY literature. Right below it on the catalog page are 7365K23 and 28 which are both FEP Plenum rated type which might be ok. I found some cat 5 cable at Home Depot that I thought was ok but only 3 of the 4 pairs were the FEP type insulation with the other being PVC type.
DIY speaker cable made from cat 5 type cable
I am looking to make my own speaker cables according to Jon Risch's notes that I found at: www.geocities.com/jonrisch/s2.htm?200611.
I am having difficuilty finding a source of cable other than having to buy a 1000 ft spool or buy premade computer cables with the wrong type insulation. i would also prefer more that 4 twisted pairs per cable. Anyone have a solution or left over cable they would want to sell?
Thanks
