I'm already using it for Networking and extra phone line, but what else can I use it for?

Can I use it for low voltage wiring or is that not recomended?

I'm wondering cause I've got about 300 ft of this stuff on a spool under my bed.

Sell it on ebay in 15 foot sections. You'll make a small fortune.

Call it heavy duty or some crap like that too. Or Works with Windows XP!! GO for it.

well, you could hook up another repeater to your motorola centracom system via the Telco demark (at the CSC and TIMI)providing you have a free BIM card and proper firmware. Or maybe use it to extend the tone-remote unit for one of your base stations.
