8 Core Alarm Cable
The Doncaster Cables AC8CW100TCCA 8 Core Alarm Cable is a high-quality 100m security cable designed primarily for domestic and commercial alarm systems. Its flexible multi-core construction also makes it suitable for low-voltage and low-current signalling applications.
Manufactured to BS 4737 Section 3.30, this cable features eight individually coloured tinned annealed copper conductors with PVC insulation and a durable white PVC outer sheath. The flexible construction helps make routing, identification and termination straightforward during installation.

Flexible Security Cable
The Doncaster Cables security cable range uses a tubed sheath construction incorporating a tough nylon rip cord. This helps the sheath to be opened during installation while retaining a mechanically strong but pliable cable construction.
The nylon rip cord has a breaking strain of not less than 40N, while the Class 5 flexible conductors help make the cable easy to route through typical alarm and signalling installations.
Operating Characteristics
- Minimum operating temperature: -15°C
- Maximum operating temperature: 70°C
- Minimum bending radius: 6 x overall cable diameter
Security and Signalling Applications
This 8 Core Alarm Cable is primarily designed for use with security alarm systems in domestic and commercial installations. It is also suitable for signalling applications where low voltage and low currents are used.
With eight clearly identified cores, flexible tinned copper conductors and a durable PVC sheath, the AC8CW100TCCA provides a practical solution for multi-core alarm and signalling wiring where a 100m cable length is required.
