Between the mid point and end point I would then assume that there will be unused wires left in the core?
Yes, I carefully cut into the cable at the mid points and fished out the wires I needed for those connections.  Those wires in the latter sections are unused, but no real advantage in removing them even if I could.

It is an 18 core cable I got on special at Element14 (Farnell) about a year ago.

Each core is 7/0.2mm I think, so that's approx 24 AWG and good for about an Amp.

Just managed to pick up a 100 m roll of 12 core  7/.2mm from Dick Smith clearance for $25. Just walked in and made an offer as they are not stocking cable anymore.
