mojo Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Does anyone know of a source for covered multistrand wire of 0.6mm outside diameter? Have tried Maplins but their smallest is 0.9mm Only need a few inches. Maurice Cooper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I am currently (pun intended) using 8 core telephone cable. looking at it I think that it might even be of an identical spec to CAT5 cable. It is solid wire that I use. Having a quick Google a 305m box of CAT5 cable is available from about £30 and will probably do you for all your wiring for many years to come.

mojo Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Many thanks for the swift replies and to John E for his kind offer. Will post again with a conclusion and thanks to Simon for his post. A few inches (say 8-10) of 2 colours is required. Maurice Cooper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Many thanks to all for the help and advice. I have now received suitable wire supplied most generously by Simon V of "Buiding 0 Gauge Online". A very interesting web site Simon and with my non existent knowlege of electronics I may be in touch again for advice and supply of parts. Wish I had the space to use 0 gauge.
