Almost all cable you will work with will have identifying characteristics on the sheath i.e. what it is, who made it, and what standard it conforms to. That would be the better search criteria. -M< -- Martin Hannigan (c) 617-388-2663 VeriSign, Inc. (w) 703-948-7018 Network Engineer IV Operations & Infrastructure hannigan () verisign com

He's trying to find out its properties, UV rating, etc. Any information available would be great. I Googled for the part numbers (so did he) and came up empty. Siecor appears to be "Corning Cable Systems" now and their website was unhelpful, to say the least. If anyone has any information or knows much about this stuff, could you drop me a note offlist? Thanks! -Jonathan
