Wanted - two pair cable for 12VDC and RS485

I am looking for cable with two twisted pairs: one which can carry
500mA/12VDC power up to 80 metres and and another which is screened +
twisted and suitable for a RS485 network. The cable will be used for a
variety of applications  - CCTV control, a small RS485 network
including a security alarm keypad, lighting control system.

Belden 1502R (http://tinyurl.com/9pct9) has a 18AWG
power pair and a
22AWG twisted pair. BUT it is only available in the US and can only be
exported at high cost and in large lengths.

Is there something similar in the UK?

Would I be better off buying separate cables for power and signal?
(I've looked at Cat5 cable but would prefer not to use this for
various reasons.)
