The moulded ones, usually beige in colour, a bit thicker than a pencil,
or somewhat thicker than thinnet cable, are office-grade. They have
much higher losses and you can't use them for long runs. I think the
maximum allowed length is about 30'. All the standard-grade ones I've
ever seen are blue, and about as thick as yellow etherhose. Maximum
length 164' (50m).
