Is that the cable you mean? These are manufacturer dependent, but I know they are available from Interlan. -- Jack Saltiel Cambridge Digital Systems {wjh12,talcott}!cdstar!saltiel "Here's to plain speaking and clear understanding."

That is to say that each foot of flat cable is equivalent electrically to four feet of round cable. From Interlan's NP100 manual: The total board-to-transceiver cabling length is limited to 165 feet of round transceiver cable. Remember that the 10 foot length of internal flat cable is equivalent to 40 feet of round transceiver cable. This implies that one can't use more than 41 feet of flat cable. -- Ed Gould mt Xinu, 2910 Seventh St., Berkeley, CA 94710 USA {ucbvax,decvax}!mtxinu!ed +1 415 644 0146 "A man of quality is not threatened by a woman of equality."
