ah, thanks I was quite disgusted to find that a 1000' spool of cat5 I'd ordered from an electronics supplier, was solid, when I'd wanted multistranded. Last time I ordered from this guy I got multistranded. When I called him up I found that the default cable was now solid. Presumably more cat5 is used in plenums than for patch cables. He seemed to think I should be pleased to get cable at half the price. Last time I looked, places like Staples or Lowe's weren't carrying cat5, but when I looked this time, all of their's is solid too.
