Alarm cable Bitner YTDY 8×0.5, 8 conductors, 0.5 mm², 100 m reel

Bitner YTDY 8×0.5 alarm cable on a 100 m reel is designed for low-voltage security and signaling installations. The cable contains eight separate conductors with a cross-section of 0.5 mm² each, with twisted pairs to reduce interference and maintain signal integrity over short to medium distances. Intended primarily for indoor use, the construction supports connections between sensors, detectors and control panels in alarm and security systems, as well as for low-voltage distribution and extension tasks.

Advantages

The cable offers compact 0.5 mm² conductors that balance flexibility and conductivity for typical alarm system currents. Twisted conductor arrangement helps lower electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving reliability of sensor signals. The 100 m reel format provides a practical length for wiring multiple rooms or zones without frequent splices, and the separate conductor insulation simplifies termination and panel wiring. The cable is suitable for installations where indoor routing and organized conductor separation are required.

Suitable for

• Wiring alarm and security systems indoors
• Connecting motion detectors, door/window sensors and sirens
• Low-voltage signaling and control panel extensions
• Distribution runs within residential and commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 8 separate cores
• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm² per conductor
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs for reduced interference
• Length: 100 m reel
• Intended use: low-voltage alarm, security and signaling installations
• Mounting environment: indoor wiring and distribution

How to use

Strip the outer sheath and individual conductor insulation to the appropriate length for terminals on detectors, sensors or control panels. Maintain correct polarity and pair usage where devices require paired conductors. Route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and separate it from mains power cables where possible to limit interference. Use appropriate connectors, terminals or soldering practices to ensure secure and low-resistance connections. When installing long runs, check signal integrity at endpoints and plan for cable slack and support within conduits or trunking.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for indoor alarm and security wiring only, avoid direct exposure to moisture or harsh outdoor conditions, and keep the cable physically protected from mechanical damage. When running alongside mains circuits, maintain separation or use conduit to reduce induced noise. Confirm conductor assignments with the specific alarm system documentation before final termination.
