Com wire

[cpapplefamily]

I have searched around for the discussion I'm sure has been touched on many times. Lots of post using phone wire for CAN in the past. My history started last spring so Roborio is my starting point. I would like the team I'm mentoring this winter to start using feed back to operate their robot this year. The off season labs we been preforming has got everyone excited with the possibilities. What I have observed though is many or most of the connection cables we have are pieced together sometimes with two or more solder joints and not always matching colors. I bought a supply of pins and sockets.

Now I'm asking for your experiences would phone and/or Ethernet cable work well for making cables? Solid or stranded? With both types i usually like this strip twice as much wire off and fold it back once to get a solid connection.
