The Critical Link: A Pro's Guide to Security Cable

Your state-of-the-art cameras, sensors, and access control readers are only as reliable as the connections that link them back to the main system. The backbone of any robust security installation is high-quality security cable, engineered to transmit signals clearly and dependably, day in, day out.

At SCHNAP, our Security Cable range offers a solid selection of high-quality cables built to keep your clients’ security systems running smoothly. We provide the durable, performance-driven solutions that Aussie installers and technicians trust.

The Right Security Cable for the Job

Choosing the correct cable type is essential for a compliant and effective installation.

• Multi-Core Security Cable (For Alarms & Access Control): This is the workhorse for traditional alarm and access control systems. With multiple insulated cores (e.g., 4-core, 6-core, or 8-core) inside a single outer sheath, this security cable is perfect for connecting components like PIR sensors, keypads, door strikes, and sirens back to the main control panel.
• Cat5e & Cat6 LAN Cable (For IP Security): The standard for all modern IP-based security systems. A high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable is essential for connecting IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and IP intercoms. It provides the high-speed data connection needed for HD video and can also deliver power to devices using PoE (Power over Ethernet).
• RJ12 Meter Cable: We also stock rugged RJ12 meter cables, a specialised but essential cable for connecting certain types of utility meters or legacy phone systems.

Don't Forget the Patch Leads

For the final connection from your NVR to the network switch or from a wall outlet to a device, a high-quality, factory-terminated Cat5e or Cat6 LAN patch lead is a must. It guarantees a perfect connection and saves you time on site.
