- 2100 feet of AWG10 wire is going to be pretty pricey. Seem to recall something like $80/500 ft, so you're looking at over $200 just for the wire. (although copper prices are always changing).. I like

- Simple unshielded twisted pair is an excellent solution for signalling circuits because it inherently rejects RFI and noise. One twisted pair should be used for each signaling circuit. Relatively sma
