[RE-wrenches] Sourcing 600 Volt CAT 5 cable
Thanks, All. I have located & ordered the distance I needed. BTW – Midnite only sells to direct dealers that are purchasing in the $100- +/ year range. This is disappointing as the 600-V CAT5 is not a very common cable. Midnite did redirect me to ALT-E and shipping from NY was $77 for the cable, 50% of the cost of the cable itself. I tried 3 wholesalers & they were not even aware of this type of cable till they researched it. All were able to source it only as a 1000’ reel order. AEE had stopped carrying the 600 V CAT5.

Turns out I have a 400' roll of the Midnite wire which I do not need (client changed mind, and I cannot get my supplier to take back - very annoying!) and am willing to sell cheap,but you'd probably do better sourcing from Midnite since shipping from VT will probably be prohibitive.
