I designed a cap using alternate wires in a telephone cable with lots
of pairs in it. I don't remember the exact number of wires in the
piece I used (think it was around 30 i.e. 15 pairs). I obtained
around 500pF for a foot length. Details are in a post of mine made to
the list about mid last year. Not a great cap because the insulation
was PVC but it did work OK. I tested it to 18kVDC.
