More About Wire
We offer the most popular wire you may need for your security system. 22-gauge 4-conductor is the most popular because it can be used for most everything on an alarm system. 22-gauge is what is specified for not only the alarm devices, such as doors, windows, and motion detectors, but this gauge wire is also used for the keypads and any expansion modules.
We recommend 18-gauge, 2-conductor stranded for your power transformer and any sirens and strobes you may have on the system.
For fire devices such as smoke detectors, generally, red jacketed "fire wire" is required by code in most areas. Always check with local code authorities when unsure.
Finally, we also offer Cat 5e network cable if you need this for any IP/Ethernet connections between the equipment. This is also used for our IP cameras. Do not use Cat 5 for any alarm connections, however.
