I am wondering about how long the connectors on EL wire can be and still work. I'd like to have connectors that reach a circuit board about 5ft away (max). I was just concerned about whether or not I needed to use shielded cable or if I can just plain hookup wire. I also have a ton of twisted pairs from CAT5 cable, hopefully I can use that.
