Yes, it is lovely to work with, BUT does  no one bother to read the well 
documented problems with this type of cable when it is used outside of 
racks?  I posted a link in this thread several days ago. The late Neil 
Muncy, ex-W3WJE, was made a Fellow of the AES on the basis of his work 
to uncover this and the Pin One Problem.

Gepco (a smaller American cable company) now makes a twisted pair cable 
with a foil and braid shield. It takes longer to terminate, but no RFI.
