I'm still a little confused about the differences between the two 100' spools of 1800F that I have. The first spool's cable has a shiny, flexible jacket and the wires inside are white and blue. The other spool's cable is flat black and not very flexible compared to the first spool, and the wires are black and red. Each spool has a big '1800F' sticker ontop, and the cables from each are printed with Belden 1800F etc. etc. They both do the same job with no audible or functional difference, so I'm not too concerned.
Still, to try and make sure these were both 1800F and not A or B, I called the co. I ordered from, Markertek, and told them about the differences. Confused, they called Belden and then told me it was infact 1800F.
Dave, what color are the wires in your 1800F and what's the jacket like?
Also, between the 1800F and A/B, I would think only the jacket is thicker, not the wire itself (?).
