Wired 8V doorbell Chime

[SUNRAY]

It doesn’t matter. It’s from five years ago.

ooooopps

And all I was trying to say was - use 'Bell Wire', not thin CAT or Telephone wire, when wireing a doorbell.

And telephone wire IS CAT wire

 

[SUNRAY]

No, it couldn't, not with those colours



Again, not with those colours.

It's the colours I was going by. As I recall the progress; 1 & 2 no stripes. 3 stripes on whites, red, black ,yellow & purple's introduced, some manufacturers added stripes to main colours too. By 5 all wires striped.

The earlier cables tended to use a continuous longitudinal stripe such as this CAT4 (as we used for token ring);

although I don't think it has been a particular requirement Vs bands

It is 3 pair telephone internal wiring cable. It will work fine for a reasonable length run, instead of bell wire, but for a longer run, either double up 3 and 3 in parallel, or use bell wire.

Even better, that one is 4 pair.

For what it's worth we had a second doorbell in the garage at the end of the back garden, the run must have been over 40m and used one pair of a cable as above, installed for telephone extension.
Where I am now I've used 4 wire telephone cable (predated 2 pair) with a similar format, albeit a shorter run of about 20-25m and didn't give a second thought to suitability.
However as has been pointed out OP was several years ago.

You right! Orange, brown, green and blue..

No

Yes it is. Most older telephone wiring is CAT1. (Could be better than that)
You really should get out more.

There's only one correct order. My A Course tutor would be turning in his grave.

Find the spec for it, and show where it is described as Category 1.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Was a MkI Granada called MkI before MkII came along?

 

[morqthana]

Was it called that OFFICIALLY after the Mark II?

But enough about cars - how are you doing with the specifications for TIA/EIA Category 1 cable?

 

[SFK]

I think I will keep using bell wire.

Sorry, but it has been 53 years.
