Call and talk to Susan Clark at Clark Wire & Cable in Chicago. She has
the original star-quad mike cable, and may have something smaller in 2
conductor + foil and braided shielding thats just as flexible. She also
has a super flexible 75 ohm coax, with a shielding effectiveness of 110
db. I put several miles of both in a tv station while I was the C.E.,
cleaning up the signals that west penn stuff leaked like a colander and
never regretted a foot of it.
