Hi Jon- I have used it for years in Down Hole (3 geophones down the hole) seismic surveys- Since it has twisted pairs this reduces the noise pickup and it is cheap. It is #24 solid wire which breaks real easy if it gets moved a lot. But once in place it should do fine....Jim Jim O'Donnell Geological/Geophysical Consultant GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATIONS On Wed, 10 May 2006 04:07:09 +0000 =?ISO-8859-1?Q?J=F3n_Fr=EDmann?=writes: > Hi all > > I use cat-5 network cable to connect my geophone to my winsdr > amplifer > board.
