We are installing a new race trail at Whiteface Mt. I am using 22 gauge, 25 pair, Direct Burial, Alum/Shield, jel filled core, telco cable. It comes in all the listed pairings you want. I recommend the jel filled for added water and freezing protection. It also comes with various shields and amounts of protection. Gopher proof
adds another layer of metal shielding if rodents or other sharp hazards abound. Depending on amounts there maybe a cut charge, ask about that. I am installing interduct for protection when the cable crosses trails. Interduct is conduit developed for fiber optic cables, it is strong light and rather easy to install, no gluing of
joints. Blank, bulk, TV cables should also be handled by these vendors. TV cable with installed connectors maybe a different story.

We make a 6 pair input /output box using dual POMONA banana plug sockets. This cover is mounted in a weather resistant PVC box. The cable is brought in with a weather resistant strain relief. The banana plug sockets come with pigtails soldered on the back and crimp connectors to attach to your wiring. Once installed this box should be useful for at least 10 years. Please look under the TIMING NEWS section to look at pictures.
