Hi, welcome, we answer almost any question. first you do not need high
voltage cable if you make insulators to hold up bare wires. if your going to
run the xmfr(transformer) away from the coil sure use good cable. I have my
coil wiring held up on wood dowels. plastic cutting board material also
works very well and easy to machine. i use copper strap for my wiring but
any copper wire from #12 or bigger will work just fine. cul brian
