Our technicians call it 'signalisation cable'. Can we use them as a PhoneNet LocalTalk 'backbone' or do we need to put in new standard twisted pair cabling :-( ? How many pairs do we need ? And how would you connect this cable to the Faralon supplied cable that we intend to use on both sides ? We're just in the planning stage and technical advice is hard to get by over here.
