Cross Connect Wire Suppliers

Does anyone have a good source for RED, BLUE and ORANGE 1000 foot spool Cross Connect Wire? My local supplier does not carry it.

Yes but make sure you get the tighter twisted wire. They have 2 grades same cost.
I'll try and look it up and send you the exact Graybar part number a little later.
Tighter is much better.

you'll ask for type 'F' spec 5008 when you walk into Graybar or whoever is your supplier. 4 twists per foot minimum.

Thanks PBXTech, I didn't get back, but 4 twists make all the difference in ease of identifying pairs and avoiding split pairs. Not much difference in xmission characteristics. Definately the way to go.
