my first thought is to find your local belden dealer. they made the wire i used that other project; i can't find a scrap to give you the number. you might look for a local graybar and see what they have. or just get some shielded 100' tawain cables and string them together. probably work ok anyway. try L-com. www.L-com.com. 800-343-1455. they have all kinds of cable stuff.
