Current carrying capacity

[devonspark]

Anyone know the current carrying cap of 6 core alarm cable ? Can't find it anywhere

Cheers

What are the symptoms of the problem that you want help in solving?

 

[devonspark]

Want to know if i can run 2 cameras (1A each 12v ) at appx 20 m from psu.

Cable manufacturer?

 

[devonspark]

Doncaster cables I think

 

[ricicle]

I meant speak to them

Wouldn't it just be easier to use twin core lamp flex?

 

[RF Lighting]

I'd be more worried about volts drop at that voltage and circuit length

Doncaster cables I think

Hurray for Doncaster!

All our cameras in the shops are fed by twin core lamp flex. And so are the speaker PA systems. Could get confusing.

maplin claim 1A per core for thier alarm cable so it would probablly just about stand the current but you are likely to have volt drop problems over a run that long.

without knowing how sensitive the cameras are to volt drop its not possible to give a definitive size for the cable.
