   The Alpha  products go down to 26AWG ~ typical of com cables, with   
   twisted pair varieties. It's kind of difficult to determine the guages   
   in the Olflex info, due to notation method in product tables, but I'm   
   pretty sure they'll offer the same thing. By the way, PVC=Vinyl, oil   
   and chemical resistant or otherwise.
