We have a bunch of this stuff at work in short to medium lengths that is going to get tossed.
Appears to be teflon on the twisted pairs.
If people show interest I will drag some to the next meeting.
Cheers,

Here is a link to some construction information:

I am using some braided Cat5 to biwire my Meadowlark Shearwaters, sounds fine, but then, I haven't had any other cables to compare it to.
The only downside is relatively high capacitance (some commercial cables are higher though) and the fiddling about with stripping all the twisted pair ends and putting terminations on.
