Nik,
Alarm cable is usually stranded to permit
flexing....Cat 5 cable is better quality but not as flexible.. it is
fine for PIR's if the route is fixed and not subject to the cables
being
moved...decorating etc... additionally it is important to check continuity
before alarming the system as the cat 5 can break while being routed (same
happens with stranded, but not so often)....
Using shielded is a waste of money...it is not
needed... for a direct wired contact, which is not affected by
interference...
just my 2p worth

I asume that
CAT5, CAT5e, CAT are all fine.
Can someone
