cat 5 cable
JustMichael:
Cat5 worked just fine for me. I did strip 3x as much wire as I need and then folded 1/3 of the wire onto itself then folded the now two strands onto the rest of the stripped wire. When done I had 3 strands to crimp to instead of just 1.

i only use cat5, i just happen to have "recieved" 2 full roles from my brother, so i have been using that, its 8 wires inside which is nice for making clean panels 8)

The CAT5 used for patch cables is stranded.

<Grabs patch cable and cuts in half> Huh... so it is.
