FalconSecurity Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Any ideas of where I can buy this cable from?
RichL Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Whats it for? I assume you mean Beldon, but depending on what its for you might use Cat5. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
FalconSecurity Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 It is to connect a honeywell touch screen to a honeywell alarm panel. There is a 485 bus connector on the panel. I think 485 is called EIA-485 now and seems to be 4 core screened pair cable.

Just use cat5 or decent alarm cable as above beldon if you must pay more, screening is available on many types of cables...
james.wilson Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 The twist is more important than the screen. I always used something called OSP4 and trebled the powers. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

FalconSecurity Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks for the advice. Will use Cat5 cable. I take from the comments I should use stranded rather than solid copper cable? Was also thinking about using the Cat5 cable to install some security cameras, so assume should external grade cable? Would be good just to get a 100m real so can do the lot.
