Can someone tell me if 3pair telephone cable is suitable to be used for alarm cable, I have floors lifted at the minute doing plumbing and would like to install an alarm sometime but thought I could run the cables now for future use. I have a 100m roll of telephone cable doing nothing.
 
optimum words being "telephone cable"

you can use it but the alarm industry frown upon it because it snaps too easily
 
I'll get alarm cable, how many wires 4 or 6, I liked the look of the texecom alarms.
