expensive isn't it! the Phone companies use it, so do Hospitals and the Military and Aircraft industries. YOu can purchase it, but It doesn't come in household size, it comes on large spools. got a friend at the phone company? maybe he can get you a short odd piece? Or just ask one the next time you see a service truck out an about, on how to obtain some for your own use.

Without knowing to what purpose? I had a though about them used in lighting, before I thought communications.
If it is for decorative lighting you might go direct to the WWW and type in specific keywords, perhaps even going into import distributors?
By doing that in Yahoo explorer I came up with the link below.

Depending only on your location, there should be no problem.
