Product Information

Full details

This 100m kenable Alarm Security Cable is ideal for installers and DIY enthusiasts working on security alarm systems or other low-voltage applications. Its key benefit is the reliable signal transmission due to stranded tinned copper conductors. A potential caveat is that it's designed for low-voltage use only and is not suitable for mains power.

FAQs

What is the primary use for this cable?

This cable is primarily designed for security alarm systems and other low-voltage applications requiring multiple conductors.

Can this cable be used for mains power?

No, this cable is strictly for low-voltage applications and must not be used for mains power.

How many conductors does this cable have?

The cable has 8 cores, each with color-coded insulation.

What is the material of the conductors?

The conductors are made of stranded tinned copper.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

While the PVC sheath offers some protection, this cable is best suited for indoor installations. For outdoor use, additional protection against UV and physical damage may be required.

What does RoHS compliant mean?

RoHS compliant means the product adheres to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, limiting the use of certain hazardous materials in its manufacture.

How can I identify the different cores?

Each core is insulated with a different color to help distinguish them during installation.

Troubleshooting

No signal detected from connected device

Verify all connections on both ends are secure and correct. Check that the correct conductors are used for the intended purpose. Ensure the cable is not damaged internally.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect termination points for loose connections or corrosion. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive flexing or tension. Check for potential electromagnetic interference from nearby power cables.

Difficulty stripping the sheath

Utilize the integrated nylon rip cord for a cleaner and easier sheath removal. If the rip cord is not present or fails, use a cable stripper tool carefully to avoid nicking the inner insulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sufficient length for most home security installations.
  • Multiple cores allow for diverse wiring needs.
  • Tinned copper conductors provide reliable signal integrity.
  • Color-coded wires simplify installation and troubleshooting.
  • RoHS compliance indicates adherence to environmental standards.

Cons

  • Exclusively for low-voltage applications; unsuitable for mains power.
  • PVC sheath may become less flexible in extreme cold temperatures.
  • Weight of 2.3kg might be cumbersome for single-person handling over long distances.
  • Primarily intended for indoor use; outdoor durability may vary without additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the cable drum carefully.
  2. Identify the required conductors using the color-coded insulation.
  3. Use the nylon rip cord to easily strip the outer white PVC sheath if needed.
  4. Terminate conductors using appropriate connectors or by twisting and soldering for secure connections.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most low-voltage security alarm panels, sensors, and accessories.
  • Suitable for other low-voltage applications such as doorbell systems, intercoms, and basic data networks.
  • *Not* compatible with mains voltage or high-power electrical systems.

Care:

  • Store the cable drum in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable during installation and use, as this can damage the conductors.
  • Keep the cable free from dust and debris, especially at termination points.
  • For long-term installations, consider protecting the cable from physical damage.
