The Security and Alarm Cable electro base Nordmark NMAC-8022F-LSZH-D 8 cores tinned copper LSZH Dca 100m is compared here with two alternative security and alarm cables from the same manufacturer: Cable for security and alarm systems electro base NMAC-4022F-LZ B2ca — 4-core LSZH signal cable and Cable for security and alarm systems electro base NMAC-4022 — 4-core copper, 100 m. All products are designed for low-voltage wiring in security installations, alarm panels, sensors, and CCTV systems. The main differences relate to core count, conductor material, outer sheath fire rating, and spool length.
⚙️ The table below compares the most relevant specifications: core count, conductor type, cable length, jacket fire rating, and suitability for specific installation types.
| Parameter | Nordmark NMAC-8022F-LSZH-D | NMAC-4022F-LZ B2ca | NMAC-4022 | Practical conclusion |
|---|
| Core count | 8 cores | 4 cores | 4 cores | The Nordmark model features twice as many cores, enabling complex multi-zone sensor connections or multiple devices per cable run. |
| Conductor type | Tinned copper | Not specified | Copper | Tinned copper in the Nordmark cable offers better protection against oxidation and corrosion in demanding environments. |
| Jacket fire rating | LSZH (Dca) | LSZH (B2ca) | Standard | LSZH jackets reduce smoke and toxic gases. The alternative NMAC-4022F-LZ features a higher B2ca fire rating compared to the Dca rating of Nordmark. |
| Spool length | 100 m | Not specified | 100 m | The standard 100-meter length is convenient for typical medium-scale installation tasks. |
◎ The table below evaluates which product is most suitable for different user requirements and practical scenarios.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Complex security systems with numerous sensors | Nordmark NMAC-8022F-LSZH-D | Having 8 cores provides the necessary capacity for connecting multiple peripheral devices and maintaining stable low-voltage signaling. |
| Buildings requiring strict fire safety compliance | NMAC-4022F-LZ B2ca | The B2ca-rated sheath offers the highest level of protection against fire propagation and smoke emission indoors. |
| Standard and basic alarm or CCTV setups | NMAC-4022 | Four cores and a solid copper conductor are entirely sufficient for standard interconnections between basic sensors and control panels. |
Your choice between these cables depends entirely on your system's scale and safety regulations. The Security and Alarm Cable electro base Nordmark NMAC-8022F-LSZH-D is best suited for professional installations requiring a higher core count (8 cores) and corrosion-resistant tinned copper conductors. If you require fewer conductors combined with an exceptionally strict fire safety rating, the B2ca-rated alternative is more appropriate.
