Never heard of it either, and wire ropes of various lays and manufacture are a large portion of my living. Please keep us posted when you find 'it'.

Phosphor Bronze and Monel wire rope are both readily available from McMaster-Carr, the large industrial supply house. Bronze comes in 6x7, 6x19, 6x42, 7x7, and 7x19 in sizes up to 1/4" dia. Monel only comes in 7x7 and 7x19. The web site is http://www.mcmaster.com/
Search for "nonsparking wire rope". You may need a wholesale tax number to buy from them, but they stock almost everything in that enormous catalog, and will ship the same day they get the order. If they won't sell directly to you, you can probably work out something with a friendly boatyard or other business.
