Michael, Not too sure if you meant to say "unshielded" wire instead of "uninsulated" wire, especially with the signal cables, alot come with four wires in a shielded casing (with aluminum foil between outer plastic casing and inner insulated wires). "Shielded" signal wires can cause havoc. Dennis H. Northern NJ
