No, but I expect to start on it within the hour.

I looked at Radio Shack for a disconnect that would look nice and I found nothing. Then my dad suggested using telephone jacks. A phone jack has 4 24 guage wires and seems perfect, but the rainbow wire I HAVE doesn't look like it will fit. Does anyone know why I shouldn't just strip a telephone line to serve as the 4 wires initially coming to the unit?

Edit - Actually, I see that the phone cord I was planning to use is 26 gauge. Will that be good enough for what will be running ground, power, VSS, and injector?
