I beg your pardon? :-)

BTW, Token Ring cable is UTP. Modern variety is pretty much the same as
CAT5, in fact, CAT5 Cheepernet cable can be used. Ask a computer geek
for "Token Ring cable" and you will probably get your choice from about
5 different varieties of twisted pair.

The twinax you speak of was used mainly for mainframe interconnects and
backbones. Usually called "thick ethernet" in my experience.

But you are correct, there is lots of it around to be had for the
asking.
