Hello Simon

The other advantage of using ordinary screened stranded alarm
cable as opposed to solid CAT5 STP is the cost factor. Solid CAT5
STP is expensive stuff when compared to the ordinary screened
alarm cable and stranded CAT5 STP is even more expensive.

>OK I bow to my peers superior knowledge here. I tend to use STP
cable instead of shielded alarm cable as it is more robust for
pulling (than alarm cable). Personally I would drag STP
everywhere but if my peers say that this may lead to problems
then I would advise UTP. BUT I would advise either UTP or
shielded alarm cable for your alarm pannel and sensors.
