They deal in Gepco and Canare cables, and would know the best for installs.

Tell him Steve Kennedy-Williams sent you his way.

I normally would recommend Belden 9451, but they've changed their business practices over the last few years, screwing over dealers I know among other things.

I don't know the Canare or Gepco equivalents, which is why I suggested Matthew.

You may be required to install a plenum rated cable to meet fire codes.

Plenum is needed when installing in plenum spaces where HVAC pathways are involved. usually forced air. more here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenum_space

The main question is how many channels do you need to run? Is this for a recording rig or pa system?
