I used one twisted pair in un-shielded CAT 5 in my Fire Dept to connect a radio to an audio amplifier system. The run was over 100 ft. The audio was tapped at the internal speaker of the radio at a comfortable listening level. The other end of the wire went into the aux audio input of a audio

Don't forget, CAT cables have different twist rates for each pair to minimize crosstalk between them. If one pair doesn't work, try another. From: larynl2 lar...@hotmail.com To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sun, February 28, 2010 12:27:53 PM Subject:

Skipp- They make Shielded Cat 5 6, as well as shielded RJ45 ends. Takes a special crimp tool but it is available. Also, Belden and other wire manufactuers are making special series of Cat cables with low-skew design specifically for the purposes of sending Audio Video down the Cat cables.
