replacement timing/communication wires

We use a product called "Flexquad" that is 4 conductors with a ground. All ALGE systems use a common ground so you can tie them all together in the cable with no issues.

Flexquad is basically MIDI cable.

Are you looking for hill wire, or simply wire to connect into the hill wire to your sensors (start gates and photocells)? If you're looking for hill wire, I'd highly recommend you go with a minimum of 6 and more ideally 12 pairs of rodent proof burriable grade (double shielded) cable. Get the larges cable (smaller gauge) you an afford, ideally 22 or less gauge.

Thanks for both replies. In fact, it is to connect cells, and starting gate to permanent junction boxes. As well in some case to use on hills were we don`t have permanent wiring. So i need something that we can ideally put on a reel and that does not break.

For years we have used Belden stranded/shielded 22 awg cable which can be put on spools and wound up many times and still function properly.

Belden 8777 3 pair shielded 22 awg
Belden 8723 2 pair shielded 22 awg
Belden 9333 4 pair Shielded 22 awg

This wire can be ordered at most wire supply vendors.

For short runs, where your biggest concern is the wire being stepped/skied on, stretched, tripped over, etc..., I prefer using 16-2 or 18-2 gauge Carol electrical wire. It has a thick jacket and is stranded so it will take quite a bit of abuse before failing. It will also remain flexible well below freezing which is a plus. You can find it at Home Depot, cheap. Combine that with some Hirshmann VQ20 banana plugs and the cables will last for years.

Check out the Unitronic PUR series from LappCables. You want the Unitronic PUR S17, 2 pairs

PROS: Outstanding quality, highly flexible down to -30 (tested), easy to knit og hang up, does not slide from poles, 4-5 mm thin. 3x cable on one roll.

CONS: A bit more expensive per m, thin wire for fixing of banana-plugs at the end.
