Twisted-pair 2-conductor Cable
  

Twisted-pair 2-conductor Audio Cable

Question: What variations of this cable are available?

Answer:
 The primary variations in twisted-pair cable are in gauge, insulation color, and number of conductors (2, 4, 6 or 8).

Gauge indicates the size of the conductor, with a smaller gauge indicating a larger wire. Larger gauge wire is a more effective conductor.

The insulation colors vary for individual preference, to allow the wires to best blend in against a wall.

The number of conductors varies for different applications, with the limit that the number of conductors must be even.
