[RE-wrenches] Sourcing 600 Volt CAT 5 cable

[Howie Michaelson]

Turns out I have a 400' roll of the Midnite wire which I do not need
(client changed mind, and I cannot get my supplier to take back - very
annoying!) and am willing to sell cheap,but you'd probably do better
sourcing from Midnite since shipping from VT will probably be prohibitive.
