RE: Cat5e and rg6 for newbuild

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nope - CAT5e is 8 core data cable and is usually sold in 305m boxes. PF100
(CT100) is coaxial cable for RF applications and is generally sold on a
100m
reel or 250m drum.

PF100 has done me fine recently (been using B&Q PF100 for the last
year).
