I need to tap some electrical in an underground garage where my car
is. There are no wall outlet whatsoever and sometimes I need to plug
in some hand tools. Anyway, I found this box hanging off the low
ceiling, I opened and saw thew 5 wires, 4 wiht shield and 1 just
barecopper(ground). Can someone in the know please tell me which of
these wires I can splice into to get teh equivalent household voltage
of 120V, I plan to add a wall socket to it. I promise I will be
careful, where gloves etc. Thx

It is hard to tell from here, but if the cable is shielded, it sounds
like you have some low voltage stuff. Maybe for a phone, doorbell, or
security. This wire is usually so small that you can bend it with
your finger. You will not be able to use it for power.

You are right I was able to bend it and it takes on teh new shape
where you have bent it. Unlike the flexible type that just spring
back to the old shape.
