pika has 300 - 500 feet of wire left over from installing a
twisted-pair network. We are selling the wire at cost, which is
$0.56/foot, and we can sell in any length. This is level 5 wire, the
best grade. It has been tested at 100 mbits/sec and is suitable for
FDDI-over-copper networks as well as Ethernet. The jacket is blue
flexible PVC.
Just to be very clear (our first buyer didn't get this, hence the
repost to resnet), this is the 25-pair wire that is used to connect
distant points, and is often referred to as "riser cable" because it
is used for the vertical risers that go between punch-down blocks on
different floors. This is *not* the 4-pair wire used to go to
individual RJ-45 sockets (which is often referred to as "station
cable").
Please reply to me if you are interested.
