Security and alarm system cable electro base Nordmark NMAC-60/22F-LSZH-D, 6 cores, tinned copper, LSZH, fire class Dca

The electro base Nordmark NMAC-60/22F-LSZH-D is a multi-core cable designed for security and alarm systems. It includes six individually insulated conductors made of tinned copper and is protected by a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) outer sheath. The cable is intended for signal transmission and low-voltage power distribution in alarm, intrusion detection and monitoring installations where reduced smoke and corrosive gas emissions are required for safer indoor routing and building safety.

Advantages

This cable combines tinned copper conductors for improved corrosion resistance with six insulated cores for flexible wiring of sensors, detectors and control panels. The LSZH outer sheath reduces smoke density and avoids halogenated gas release in case of fire, supporting safer evacuation and protecting sensitive electronics. Fire class Dca indicates a performance level against fire propagation suitable for many indoor commercial and residential installations. The construction allows straightforward termination and routing through cable channels and conduits.

Suitable for

• Wiring of security alarm panels and motion detectors
• Intrusion detection and supervised sensor loops
• Low-voltage signal transmission and auxiliary power in monitoring systems
• Indoor cable runs in offices, apartment buildings and commercial spaces

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for indoor use and building-in applications; it is not specified for long-term direct burial or continuous outdoor exposure without additional mechanical and moisture protection. For high-voltage power distribution, heavy mechanical stress environments or where specific outdoor UV and water resistance ratings are required, a cable with appropriate environmental and voltage specifications should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 6 insulated conductors
• Conductor material: tinned copper for improved corrosion resistance
• Sheath type: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Fire performance: Fire class Dca
• Intended use: low-voltage signal and power for security and alarm systems

How to use

Route the cable through appropriate conduits or cable trays and secure it to avoid strain on terminations. Strip outer sheath and individual conductor insulation only as needed for connections, using tools suited for low-voltage cables to prevent conductor damage. Connect cores to alarm panels, detectors or power supplies according to system wiring diagrams and polarity markings. If longer runs are required, verify voltage drop and signal integrity with the specific devices in use. Follow local electrical and fire safety regulations during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required number of cores and conductor size for your alarm or monitoring devices
• Confirm indoor application and whether LSZH and Dca fire performance meet building code requirements
• Check run lengths and plan for voltage drop or signal attenuation if applicable

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, pair this multi-core LSZH cable with compatible alarm panels and connectors, avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress at termination points, and keep cable routes separated from high-voltage mains to reduce interference. Inspect terminations after installation and perform system tests to confirm signal paths and detector responses.
