Since I don't know of any sci.phones group I thought I would try sci.electronics... I want to string some telephone extension cables that will go a rather long distance (~100 feet). With these cables, I thought I'd string some others for future use (alarm, RS232, ...). For the other cables I want to use shielded twisted pair, but telephones are usually done with unshielded cable. I would really like to buy one cable with multiple pairs, but I can't find any with both shielded and unshieled twisted pairs. So my question is: can I use shielded twisted pair for telephone circuits or do they have undesireable side effects? Thanks, Mark ...uw-beaver!ssc-bee!simnet
