I checked the rolls of wire at the shop.  I find I have two different 
ones:

Belden # 8720 -
14 AWG stranded (19x27) TC conductors, polyethylene insulation, twisted 
pair, overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage), 16 AWG stranded TC drain 
wire, PVC jacket.

Belden # 8718 -
12 AWG stranded (19x25) TC conductors, polyethylene insulation, twisted 
pair, overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage), 14 AWG stranded TC drain 
wire, PVC jacket.

73
