UK Cable/Wire Suppliers?
Minwah:
www.maplin.co.uk - I get most of my electronics stuff from here...not bad price and shipping is usually very quick.
Franco:
Yeah thats where I got the Ethernet mutlicore from. I couldnt really see anything else. Have you bought some suitable wire from there? Im looking for somewhere in the region of 24AWG (7/0.2mm).

Yes, but I forget the gauge of wire (sorry)...some would argue the stuff I have is a bit thick, seems ok to me though and holds well in crimps, which can be a problem with thin stuff.

I emailed Maplins to see if they could recommend some cable from there stock but the nearest thing they have available (I wanted at least 12 strands at 22AWG - 7/0.2) was this cable:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=230&&source=14&doy=9m8
which is 7/0.1 i.e twice as thin as 22AWG and isnt thick enough.
Anyone else have any ideas? I may try emailing Andy to see if he will sell me 5m or so of each wire or if he knows of somewhere I can buy it from.
