When I looked at the end of that cable I only saw 6 wires. Upon
taking the white covering back I see 4 twisted pairs. White and 4
colors. No shielding. All insulated. Telephone? I am sorry and
will try to be more careful in the future.
Just to clear up hopefully one last question-- are you saying to take
the insulation off of everything and just have bare wire? Or can I
leave the insulation on the little wires and take off the outside
covering?

I have a cable that says
MPP/CMP/PCC FT6 -- -- 4/24. Six copper wires. Would that work?
Any
easy way to get the covering off?
I find that rolling the wires with the knife on a meat
cutting block spares my fingers from any chance of cuts.
It is interesting that you have this type of cable. I cannot find
a data sheet for that particular type of cable, but it is possible
that it is a shielded type - it has a braided conductor around the
copper conductors. IF that is
