Does anyone know where I can buy RJ12 telephone cables with solid wire?

The crimp-on tips for RJ12 connection are DIFFERENT for
solid and for stranded wire. It's only easy to find the
tips for the stranded wire. Crimping the stranded-type tips
to the solid wire is unreliable.

I have used some (at work before I retired) which claimed to be
designed for both solid and stranded wire. I suspect that they got
those because they did not want to have to figure out which type of wire
they were working with in the field. :-)

Enjoy,
