I have the remains of a spool of 4-conductor with shield that might work.
I'll have to check the gauge of the wires, but they might be 16.
Dan .. I'll let you know, but I don't know how much wire is on that spool.

I don't know the spec for the 2800 --- I'm guessing it is too big
for sprinkler system wire?
I've bought stuff from here:

I'd follow the manufacturers recommendation.
$200 is a pretty small investment considering what you probably
