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.
