4 core alarm cable
4 core alarm cable is a type of low-voltage cable commonly used in security and alarm systems. It features four individual, color-coded conductors (typically red, black, yellow, and green) enclosed within a protective PVC sheath. These cables are designed for connecting various components like door/window contacts, motion detectors, control panels, and other low-voltage devices within a security system.
