[QUOTE="andrew gissing, post: 7564, member: 75"] Hi, This thread [url]http://soundforums.net/varsity/5747-analog-digital-return-snake-print.html[/url] was about cat 5 and some aes pairs; there are also some references to power bundled with the cable. I'm looking for 3 or 4 cat 5's in the one outer jacket. I'm hoping to keep the outer diameter as small as possible; keep weight down (well, they are all probably about the same), and be flexible for rolling up gig after gig. I plan on making 2 cables one 100m (300ft ?) and the other 50m (150ft?) - use the shorter one for most gigs, longer for those that need it. I was also going to go to an electrical friend of mine and get 300m of the standard blue cable and make a backup cable - tape the cores together. This isn't going to look good and isn't going to be road ready but i'll keep it in the truck in case of emergency. Anyway, so for multicore cat 5 i've found the gepco product (probably the one in the other thread) - [url=http://www.gepco.com/products/proav_cable/network/4pr_4chan_cat5Eheavyduty_M.htm]Gepco® Brand -- Audio and Video Cable Products --[/url] I believe that the following companies also make this product but I can't find it on their websites: Belden Mogami Sommer Link Whirlwind Has anyone got any links to product data or any other manufacturers I should check out ?
