Re: CAT5 Cable: Stranded vs Solid

["Tracey Gardner" <tracey.gardner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello John

You want solid cored CAT5.
I'd recommend CT100 for your coaxial distribution.
I'm a little surprised at the price of your CT100 are you sure that its
£9.49 for 100m, and not 50m?
I've just looked at the CPC catalogue and their prices are between £20 and
£40/100m for CT100.

Regards

Tracey
