Using solid core BT cable for wiring alarm? |

On a similar note, how about using CAT5 for wiring an alarm? I only
need it for the bell box as the remainder is wireless. I've a stack
of CAT5 about the place but would need to go buy some alarm cable - I
cant imagine the current is that great.

Whatever type of cable you are using for long runs take a few mins out
and test the cable for continuity on the roll first. If you have ever
put in a 50 metre long run and then had to replace half of it as cable
was duff then its time well spent. has only happened once with alarm
cable and all rolls tested since have been ok but it was still a pain
in the butt at the time
