Cable de alarma BITNER YTDY 8x0,5 100 m — 8 hilos, 0,5 mm², funda de PVC

BITNER YTDY 8x0.5 alarm cable is a multi-core low-voltage cable supplied in a 100 m reel and designed for alarm, security and signalling installations. The cable contains eight 0.5 mm² conductors with PVC insulation and a PVC outer sheath that provide mechanical protection and straightforward handling during installation in indoor locations or in protected outdoor runs. It is intended for connecting sensors, detectors, control panels and other alarm system elements requiring multiple conductors and reliable insulation.

Advantages

The eight-conductor layout allows parallel connection of several circuits or zones while keeping conductors clearly separated. PVC insulation and sheath ensure basic mechanical resistance and flexibility for routing through conduits, cable ducts and cable trays. The 0.5 mm² conductor cross-section offers a balance between compact cable diameter and sufficient current-carrying capability for typical alarm and signalling circuits. Supplied on a 100 m reel, the cable reduces the need for frequent joins and supports continuous runs.

Suitable for

• Wiring of alarm and security systems (sensors, sirens, detectors)
• Low-voltage signalling between control panels and field devices
• Multiconductor connections in access control and CCTV auxiliary circuits
• Indoor installations and protected outdoor routes (conduits, cable trays)

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 8
• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm²
• Insulation material: PVC
• Outer sheath material: PVC
• Length: 100 m reel
• Application voltage: suitable for low-voltage alarm and signalling circuits
• Installation environment: indoor and protected outdoor runs

How to use

Strip the outer PVC sheath and separate the individual insulated conductors to the required lengths, taking care not to nick the conductor strands. Use appropriate terminal blocks, screw terminals or crimp connectors compatible with 0.5 mm² conductors when connecting to sensors, detectors or control panels. Route the cable in conduits, cable ducts or trays to protect it from mechanical damage and prevent interference; secure with suitable clips or ties at regular intervals. Avoid running the alarm cable in the same conduit as high-voltage or strong-current power cables to reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For long-distance runs or where higher immunity to interference is required, consider using twisted-pair or screened alarm cable variants. Maintain bend radii recommended for PVC-sheathed cables and protect the cable from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or solvents to preserve insulation integrity.
