Re: FDC cableing

[Gerard Visser <gvisser@indiana.edu>]

Hi Joe,
	Well you know I like this idea. But, I do think we should identify an 
approved mesh sleeve to put over the cable there. This is a loose pair 
cable and it will probably be a mess if there is no sleeve or jacket at 
all. And the wires are rather fragile and must not be nicked or snagged 
on anything. The sleeve would need whatever required fire rating. The 
sleeves could be had in different colors, no doubt; this seems useful.
	The cable you will get has 1m loose twisted pair between the flats, is 
that correct? Please send final cable specification to us all, if 
possible, before the order is placed. Thanks,

	Gerard

p.s. Same cable is for CDC, right? We need them to concur this is the 
right cable choice, I haven't heard it explicitly. (But no objections 
either...)
