Lots of cat 5 wire (but not all) is not multconductor. It generally depends on whether it's intended for use in walls or racks (not multiconductor) or to connect computers to those things, I suspect.
"Alarm cable" or "Security/alarm cable" is generally stranded and is readily available from various sources. It's rated at higher (line) voltages--and lower frequencies--than cat5/5e/6 wire. Most commonly it comes in four conductors or so, but is available with more including eight.
