4 core alarm cable

Key Features:

• Four Conductors:

  The cable contains four separate, insulated copper wires, allowing for multiple signal paths and connections.
• Color-Coded:

  The conductors are usually color-coded to simplify installation and identification of connections (e.g., red for power, black for ground, yellow and green for other signals).
• PVC Insulation:

  The individual conductors and the overall cable are insulated with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), providing electrical isolation and protection.
• Low Voltage:

  Typically designed for low-voltage applications, commonly used in 12V or 24V DC alarm systems.
• Flexibility:

  The cable is generally flexible, making it easier to route through walls, ceilings, and other spaces.
• Durability:

  The PVC sheath provides a degree of protection against abrasion and environmental factors, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Standards:

  4 core alarm cables often comply with standards like BS4737, BS6360, and BS6746. 

Common Applications:

• Intruder Alarms: Connecting sensors (door/window contacts, motion detectors) to the control panel. 
• Access Control Systems: Linking card readers, keypads, and control units. 
• Fire Alarms: Connecting smoke detectors, heat sensors, and alarm panels. 
• Low Voltage Circuits: Used in various other low-voltage signaling and control applications. 

Benefits:

• Simplified Wiring: The color-coded cores and multi-conductor design simplify installation and reduce the chance of wiring errors. 
• Reliability: Ensures reliable communication between different alarm system components. 
• Cost-Effective: Generally a cost-effective solution for low-voltage wiring in security and alarm systems.
