ELEKTRO FORUM

Hi,

I have an application needing a cable with the following rough
requirements:

-4 twisted pairs, individually shielded (braided). Ideally standed 28AWG,
but we could do down to 26 or even 24AWG. Solid conductors could also be
acceptable. A foil shield could do as well.
-outer shield, ideally braided, but foil could be ok.
-outside diameter (O.D.) of the cable 5mm maximum
-cable must be somewhat flexible

The troublesome requirement here is the O.D. of <= 5mm: everything out
there seems to be 7mm or more!!

I need something quickly, and cannot afford to wait for someone to custom
manufacture this for me. Even if I did, there is the additional problem of
min orders of 1000-5000ft, I only need something like 100ft.

If anyone has anything to suggest, Id love to hear from you, I am getting
desperate! Drop me a note at mph@xiphos.ca

I believe you can get Cat 5 cable shielded, has 4 Pair! Try the big guys,
Beldin, Black Box, etc....

So you have a source of such cable in your neighborhood?
Please share you secret with the rest of us.

Maybe not to him, buy obviously to you because you dont know that you
should take care about the contents of every group and set a Fup2. This
includes the use of the correct language.

There is shielded CAT5 cable available.

The problem with those is that the pairs are not
individually shielded on this kind of cable.
Shielded CAT5 cable has a commin braid over all of the pairs.

Some CAT7 cables should be what you are looking for.
For example cable at http://www.ltkcable.com/LTK p NET CAT7.htm
seems promising.
