Hello everyone,

I haven't been reading this news group to long so I'm not sure if it's ok to
ask questions of this nature here. I'm searching for zip-cord (aka:
mono-cord, speaker wire, shooting wire, dbl hookup, rainbow cable, ribbon
cable) specifically looking for solid copper, 26 gauge (Smaller the better
down to 28, but will settle for 24 or 22). I'm looking for brightly colored
insulation, yellow, orange, red, etc. anything except for clear. My usual
supplier doesn't carry it anymore the vender discontinued the product. I
would like a 1000' roll, or so. I use to pay about $0.03 a foot and I'm
having a hard time finding it at any price now.

Can anyone direct me to a resource?

Could you use what the telco calls "inteconnect wire", single twisted
pair used normally with 66 pumchdown blocks? I cannot find it oneht
web, but used to be able to buy 1000 ft spools in many color
combinations. It is effectively a single pair in cat3 cable.

Ask a local installer what he uses now ... the roadside panels are
(were) full of it.
