T&T: Multi-conductor wire - availability

[Peter Bennett]

West Marine shows an 8 conductor #20 from Ancor (Ancor #158010).

If you don't insist on the "marine" designation, Digikey and other
electronic distributors will have a wide selection of multiconductor
cables from Alpha, Belden, and others. I think all of these cables
(except those described as "solid conductor, of course) will have
tinned stranded conductors, and should be acceptable for your use.
