Has anyone ever tried cutting a Philips FineLine phone cord:
If you did, were the wires too thin/delicate to strip and ultimately connect to something else (say, by wrapping them around a screw terminal, securing them to an Elk quick-connect block, crimping them with a B(?) connector, etc? I did my first round of alarm sensors by leaving them intact and wiring the sensors to RJ-11 jacks, but for the next round of sensors, that could start getting expensive and bulky. On the other hand, I'm hesitant to chop into a cord that cost almost ten bucks and could possibly be ruined by the act without first hearing a success story from someone who's already tried it
