I'm having trouble finding cables, Cat5 and 2 core electrical 'lamp cord'. I went to Middy's today but they only have solid core CAT5, Ebay is the same.
last time i looked in bunnings i couldn't find anything. i'll go have another look tomorrow.
with the Cat5, i have 32 ssr's to wire up, so 100 mtr roll wouldn't be enough. the 305 mtr would be overkill but i can always use it for next year. i saw 305 mtrs boxes on ebay for $99 but they were solid core.
i read somewhere that solid core is no good for continual movement because it eventually breaks. is that true or should i not be too worried about it?
i was just looking around for stranded core only. i can find plenty of solid core, Middy's actually had a sale on the stuff. i'll pop back in tomorrow to find out a price.
the funny thing is i bought 1000M at auction a couple years ago very cheap believing it was solid core, it even behaves like solid core, but found out a couple months ago that is actually stranded.
essentially if i didn't have that i would be using solid core.
