The TC100203 Garland 4 Core 14/0.20 Security Cable is a durable and high-performance ELV (Extra Low Voltage) cable designed for professional use in security systems, intercoms, and low-voltage interconnection wiring. Featuring four 21AWG (14/0.20mm) stranded Plain Annealed Copper Wire (PACW) conductors, each individually PVC-insulated and enclosed within a tough white PVC sheath, this cable ensures both safety and signal clarity over extended runs.
Engineered to meet AS/ACIF S008 and BS4737-3.30 standards, the MC144WH model provides superior mechanical and electrical characteristics, including a high insulation resistance, low conductor resistance, and flame-retardant properties. The 100m roll format makes it ideal for mid-size installations with minimal splicing or joins.
