I have some ugly wiring I want to clean up on my cp but lowes and HD don't really have a great selection. Currently I use some security wire that has 4 cables in it at 20 gauge, w/ twisted strands. Anyone know where I could get some with 6 or more wires bundled in it? |

Try using an old printer, or serial modem cable. (Lot's of color choices there!) Cat5e cable (stranded) will also work. - John |

Although if you are going to crimp a connector on it, strip off twice as much and fold it over when you put it in the terminal. Or else the crimp probably won't hold. |

For my modest panel, I just cut up a couple of IDE cables, the old flat ribbon style. |
