I think it is usually 8 or 6 core unscreened for standard alarms (you can
get 2 and 4 core as well) AFAIK the screened is required by Comfort
Keypads/Video. IME it is pretty hard to get hold of and definitely isn't a
stock item.
Cheers
Mick

I didnt receive it either ..so i think yahoo is playing up again....
I believe 8 core screened is used for alarm systems in the UK is that
correct ? Is is to meet British standards or just recommende by the alarm
suppliers..Never seen screened cable used over here as yet.......

spaced about 500mm apart ( i think at least here in aussie) if
running parallel with mains stuff it should be ok so long as its not
a highly inductive load which would induce noise into your lv
cables.....and so long as they are not long parallel runs..
