Just a standard stomp switch from the local electronics store. It's
very roadworthy, but not terribly silent. For me, I wanted a strong
resistance to avoid accidentally or prematurely hitting the record
button.

electronics catalog, ferinstance?
CAT5 networking jacks are what you'd find in an office where PC's are
networked together. They look just like a phone jack, but bigger and
with more connections. They're also called RJ45's vs. phone jacks which
are RJ11's (or is that vice versa?). If you don't need 8 wires, but 6
or 4, then a standard phone jack scenario could accomplish the same
thing.
> What is "standard, cheap network cable?" Is it roadworthy?
I wouldn't say it's as roadworthy as a decent instrument cable. It's
designed for static installation. You can go to any home depot, lowe's,
or radio shack and they'll have cat 5 cable. Check it out and make the
call yourself.
Additionally, the box I'm using as a stomp-box is a simple plastic
enclosure from my local electronics parts store. Not very road-worthy,
but I'm not out that much. Weight and cost are more of an issue.
