[GreenKeys] Current Loop Wire

[drlegendre .]

Depends on distances and line speeds, but for the most part, anything like
24-28ga solid copper twisted pair is fine, such as you'd find in any
nominal telecom or UTP Ethernet cable (like Cat-3 / Cat-5 etc) is fine
withing your domicile. The impedances are low, the currents are high, and
noise just ain't much of a problem on these local runs.

Even un-twisted pair domestic phone wire (the red+green / black+yellow
stuff in the beige jacket) is acceptable for runs under a couple hundred
feet. Just be careful when you strip the ends, it's so easy to nick this
soft wire causing it to break with only light disturbance, such as during
installation.
