I am not following how you made up your cables. The cable has four twisted pairs inside the sheath Gr/Wh Bl/Wh Br/Wh & Or/Wh The cable has a mylar shield and drain wire.

If I plait 3 lengths of cable together, are you saying that I join say the Or/Wh & Bl/Wh for + and Gr/Wh & Br/Wh for the - on all three lengths ? This would give me 12 conductors for + & 12 for -.

Hi,

For each of the twisted pairs one went to + and the other to -.

Connect your overall shield to ground at the amp - other end not connected.

As far as I know it can be applied on cat 5, 5e, 6 standards.
