Cheap Speaker Cables

Does anyone know where you can get custom lengths of Plenum (CMP) networking cable?  Doesn't matter if it's CAT 5, 5e, or 6, as long as it is Plenum insulated.  I don't want buy a 1000' spool.

I'd also be interested in finding a source for 16 - 18 AWG magnet wire.

Much cheaper when bought in 1000' spools, but if you only going to use about 50' then this makes more sense.

I fooled around with a couple kinds of CAT-5 cable awhile back, and for about the same money I was able to buy Gronenberg cables. I also think the Gronenbergs are better cables. (I use nothing but WBT connectors)
