[GreenKeys] OT: WTB 8 conductor telephone cable

[David Christ]

Can’t help you with the flat stuff but I have many thousands of feet of new Cat 5 and Cat 5e that I will give away for the shipping.  Full boxes and part boxes.  Also lots of used as well.  In addition have Cat 3, miniature coax, other shielded twisted pair etc.  Mostly new. 

If there is enough interest I will make a list of what I have.  I am trying to clean out my storage buildings and find trying to sell things is to much trouble for the return.  Much easier to give it away.  Then if no one is interested it goes to the dump.

Shipping via Priority mail can be pretty cheap.

Funny, but it seems that whether they are for stranded or solid and what gauge wire they are for is seldom contained in the product description. I guess if I were buying from an electronics parts house (mouser, et. al) that detail might be more likely to exist.
