Hello my friends! I've got a BMP280 sensor being used with my weather logger. I need to find a spool of wire that is a harness with at least 4 wires inside of it. Can someone please recommend something for me?

Thank you

Cat 5 cable. It also has twisted pairs that help with noise.

Great minds think a like 😉

Yep, I found an old net work cable to use in the meantime if I did not get any other leads. It's amazing how many of these cables you collect over time!!!!

I use (or misuse) networking cable. The only thing to be aware of is that the wire gauge is really small and it is often solid core.

Keep an eye out for broken wires when debugging.... especially when something works some of the time. A sharp bend can be all it takes to ruin your day.
