Cable for security and alarm systems electro base NMAC-8022F-LZ 8 cores LSZH B2ca

Cable for security and alarm systems electro base NMAC-8022F-LZ 8 cores LSZH B2ca is a shielded multi-core cable intended for indoor use in security installations. The product contains eight insulated conductors within a single outer sheath and is specified with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket with B2ca fire performance. It is designed for connecting sensors, detectors and alarm control panels where reduced smoke emission and halogen-free behavior are required to limit toxic fumes in case of fire.

Advantages

The cable combines shielding around conductors to reduce electromagnetic interference with an LSZH outer sheath that limits smoke and corrosive gas release during combustion. Its eight-core configuration enables multiple signal or power circuits to be run in a single cable route, simplifying installations. The B2ca fire performance indicates suitability for use in environments with demanding fire safety requirements, and the construction supports reliable signal transmission for security and alarm systems.

Suitable for

• Wiring of alarm control panels and detector lines indoors
• Connecting motion sensors, magnetic contacts and smoke detectors
• Running multiple low-voltage circuits in cabinets, conduits or trunking
• Installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are necessary (public buildings, offices, residential complexes)

Key specifications

• Configuration: 8 insulated cores within a single sheathed cable
• Shielding: overall shield to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Outer sheath: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Fire performance class: B2ca
• Typical use: low-voltage signal and alarm circuits for security systems
• Suitable for indoor fixed installations in cable trays, conduits or trunking

How to use

Route the cable through the chosen installation pathway (cable tray, conduit or trunking) ensuring minimum bending radius as recommended by the installer or standards. Terminate each conductor to the corresponding input or output of sensors, detectors or the alarm control panel, maintaining shielding continuity by connecting the shield to earth or the panel ground at one point to reduce interference. Use appropriate gland fittings or fire-rated pass-throughs where the cable passes through walls or floors to preserve fire performance and sealant properties.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in dry conditions and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures prior to installation. Verify conductor assignments and continuity with a tester before commissioning the system. For installations requiring compliance with local building and fire codes, consult relevant standards and coordinate with the project engineer to confirm that LSZH and B2ca performance meet site requirements.
