Cables & Wiring Systems
Alarm Cable
Unshielded and shielded alarm cable range for signaling and alarm system installations, connecting contacts, detectors, sensors and infra-red or microwave systems to the switch board.
Key Features
Core conductor, shielding and insulation-color characteristics of the unshielded and shielded Alarm Cable range.
Unshielded & Shielded Options
The supplier catalog lists both unshielded and shielded (Al/foil with drain wire) alarm cable constructions.
Multiple Conductor Options
Bare copper, tinned copper, CCA or CCS conductor options are listed in the supplier product information.
2 to 50 Core Configurations
Cable core counts from 2C up to 50C are listed across the supplier's alarm cable range.
Color-Coded PVC Insulation
Flame-proof or common PVC insulation is listed in core-count-specific color codes from 4-core up to 12-core.
Al/Foil Shield with Drain Wire
The shielded construction adds an aluminium foil shield with a drain wire; the unshielded construction omits both.
Signaling & Alarm System Applications
The supplier lists signaling, alarm, detector, sensor and infra-red/microwave switch-board connection applications.
OEM & ODM Capabilities
Flexible OEM and ODM support covering product configuration, specifications, labeling, branding, packaging and project-specific customization requirements.

Construction & Configuration
Layered Alarm Cable construction including conductors, PVC insulation, optional shield and drain wire, ripcord and outer jacket components.
Conductor
Bare copper, tinned copper, CCA or CCS conductor options are listed in the supplier construction table.
PVC Insulation
Flame-proof or common PVC insulation is applied around each conductor, in core-count-specific color coding.
Ripcord
A synthetic-fiber ripcord is listed for jacket removal.
Aluminium Foil Shield (Shielded Variant)
An aluminium foil shield is added in the shielded construction; the unshielded construction omits this layer.
Drain Wire (Shielded Variant)
A drain wire is listed for the shielded construction only.
PVC Jacket
A PVC jacket (flame-proof or common, white or black) completes both the unshielded and shielded constructions.
