Now you guys really woke me up.
Jeff --- station wire and inside wiring cable are like Ed and his "RJ 45". Station wire is usually considered "JK" (not jack) while cable is just that --- 12/25/50/100 pair CABLE.
"Ring wire" more commonly known as "bridle" (like a horses bridle) wire is similar to electrical "brewer cord" only solid core, not stranded. Bridle wire is used in OSP, and is not intended to be used indoors as it has a rubber-type insulation, similar to the old rubber drop wire.
Bridle wire got it's name because it was separated and looked like a horse's bridle when attached to open wire, one to tip and one to ring. The "rings" referred to are bridle rings to route the wiring to either another set of open wire, a terminal to feed the open wire, or to a 105 terminal to feed a service drop. "Sparkies" would call this a jumper.
