Thanks to Don and Jim for their input on building a RFI resistant control cable.
I've been informed by another poster that it's recommended to use stranded CAT5 or 6 verses solid wire. The poster believes stranded wire would be more resistant to flexing, plugging, unplugging, etc. than solid wire. One last question on this issue: I've come across some nice (stranded) CAT6 cable that has a shield and a drain wire. I'll have a decision to make on what to do with the shield, but is there a consensus (or not) on what to do with the drain wire? 73 N5BCN - Brian ----- K2 #6800 KPA100/KAT100-2, KSB2, KAT2, KIO2, K160RX, KNB2, KAF2, LP-PAN/K2 w/ Pre-amp, SignaLink USB -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/OT-Drain-Wire-on-CAT6-RFI-resistant-cable-tp6452241p6452241.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
