Belden solid-core CAT5 cable, 1583ENH. Any length (up to 305m). Price negotiable on quantity. Eminently suitable for FFRC, or for networking your house (solid core cable is used for building installation and is not suitable for patch leads). Grey sleeving.

"Full Frequency Range Cable"
It is an easy to make DIY speaker cable design by Thorsten Loesch.
Was a hot topic when first introduced. A good budget cable.

FFRC use three lenghts of UTP cable per run.
There are other DIY designs using this cable including a six lengths per run design called TripleT.

There are many different types of UTP cables. Cat5, 5E, 6, 7 etc.
Different insulation, jacket and conductor materials and construction. But they are all not suitable for FFRC or the TripleT.

The one on offer here meet the design criteria:
Belden 1583ENH - Datatwist 5 Installation Cable (UTP): 'Cat5E'
4 unshielded twisted pairs; Individually insulated 24 AWG Solid Copper strands;
Insulation: PE - Polyethylene
Jacket: LSNH (Low Smoke Non-Halogen)
Nom. Cap. (pF/ft) 49.000

But the colour is cream/grey
(not 'fetching' purple, that Thorsten used. he! he!)
 
how much would i need to make 2 3m runs?
im not looking for cable at the moment but i will be soon.

20 meters for FFRC to allow for rolling/plaiting and termination losses.

Since the cable is cheap, why not double that and make TripleT ?
 
In addition to the cable, I can supply heatshrink to pretty up the end of the cable:
