What's in the range, and which cable do I need?
What's in the cabling range?
- Trunking and conduit: mini and maxi trunking with fittings, self-adhesive mini trunking, LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen) flexible conduit, conduit brackets and cable sleeving.
- Back boxes and floor boxes: single gang back boxes, single and double gang dry-lining boxes, and floor boxes.
- Voice and telephone cable: CW1308 internal and internal/external telephone cable in multi-pair sizes, plus voice patch panels.
- CCTV coax: RG59 video cable with a 2-core power pair, ready-made BNC leads, BNC plugs, crimps and couplers.
- Surge protection: surge protectors for network cable runs, including a weatherproof network connector.
- Tools and fixings: crimp tools, cable strippers, punchdown tools, cable rods, staplers, wall plugs and tape.
Which cable for a security install?
The wrong cable is a common reason a camera or reader stops working later. Thin cores lose voltage over distance, indoor cable breaks down outdoors, and cable run next to mains wiring can pick up interference.
- Cat5e: works for many PoE IP cameras over short to medium runs.
- Cat6: more headroom for new installs, higher-resolution cameras and runs close to the 100m network cable limit.
- RG59 with power: for HD analogue cameras over coax. Video and power cores share one outer jacket, so you pull one cable per camera.
- Outdoor runs: use external-grade cable for anything outside, even a short run under the eaves. Sunlight and damp can crack an indoor jacket.
- Access control readers: use dedicated multicore reader cable, not a spare data run. Locks need cable sized for the current they draw.
Common questions
Do you deliver cabling across the UK?
We deliver to England, Scotland and Wales. Orders placed before 2:30pm are normally dispatched for delivery within 1–2 working days. We don't ship to Northern Ireland.
Which cable should I use for CCTV?
IP cameras use network cable, usually Cat5e or Cat6. HD analogue cameras use coax such as RG59, often with a built-in power pair. Choose your camera or alarm panel first, then match the cable.
We're a supplier, not an installer. We'll go through the products with you and, depending on your needs and area, can recommend a qualified trade installer. Contractors can open a trade account.
