£55.80 (inc VAT: £66.96)
Summary
The Securi-Flex Alarm Type 1 Copper LSZH 12 Core cable represents the ultimate premium solution for large-scale alarm installations in critical environments where maximum circuit capacity, superior electrical performance, and the highest fire safety standards are all essential. This 12 core alarm cable combines pure tinned copper conductors with advanced LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) construction and twelve individually colour-coded cores, making it the definitive choice for complex installations in data centres, hospitals, transport infrastructure, and high-security facilities requiring extensive alarm coverage with uncompromising reliability.
Building upon the superior electrical performance of Type 1 pure copper conductors, this cable provides twelve circuits with the lowest resistance available (100Ω/km), ensuring optimal signal integrity even across the longest cable runs. The pure copper construction delivers 35% lower resistance than TCCA alternatives, resulting in better system performance, reduced voltage drop, and enhanced reliability across all twelve circuits. This makes it ideal for large buildings with extensive sensor networks, complex multi-zone systems, and installations where future expansion capability must be built in from the start without compromising on performance or fire safety.
Manufactured to BS4737-3.30:2015 standards and fully RoHS2 compliant, this premium cable achieves an Eca CPR classification with complete LSZH insulation and jacketing throughout. This means it produces minimal smoke and absolutely zero halogen gases in the event of fire, providing maximum safety for building occupants and protecting sensitive electronic equipment from corrosive fumes. The twelve distinct colour-coded cores (Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, Green, White, Orange, Brown, Turquoise, Pink, Violet, Grey) provide comprehensive circuit identification options for even the most complex system configurations. With a 5.40mm diameter, extended temperature range (-40°C to 70°C), green nylon rip-cord for easy preparation, and professional-grade pure copper construction throughout all twelve cores, this cable represents the pinnacle of alarm cable technology – delivering maximum circuit capacity, superior electrical performance, and the highest fire safety standards for installations where reliability and safety cannot be compromised.

FAQs
When is 12 core Type 1 copper LSZH the right specification?
Specify this cable for mission-critical installations where you need all three premium features simultaneously: maximum circuit capacity (12 cores), superior electrical performance (pure copper at 100Ω/km), and the highest fire safety standards (LSZH with zero halogen). It’s essential for large data centres, major hospitals, transport hubs, high-security government facilities, and any large-scale installation where alarm system reliability is absolutely critical and fire safety regulations are stringent. If your project requires extensive coverage, uncompromising performance, and maximum safety, this is your cable.
How does this compare to 12 core TCCA LSF cable?
This Type 1 copper LSZH cable offers significant advantages: pure copper conductors provide 35% lower resistance (100Ω/km vs 155Ω/km) for superior signal integrity, LSZH construction produces zero halogen gases (vs LSF which is low smoke/fume but not halogen-free), and the extended temperature range (-40°C to 70°C vs -20°C to 80°C) suits more demanding environments. While more expensive, this cable delivers premium performance across all twelve cores for installations where reliability, performance, and safety are paramount.
Is the investment in 12 core copper worth it for large installations?
Absolutely, for mission-critical installations. The combination of twelve pure copper cores means you can run extensive alarm systems with optimal performance across all circuits, eliminate multiple cable runs, reduce voltage drop across long distances, and future-proof the installation with spare capacity. The lower resistance enables longer cable runs without signal degradation, the LSZH construction provides maximum fire safety, and consolidating twelve circuits into one cable significantly reduces installation time and complexity. For large facilities where alarm system reliability is critical, this represents exceptional long-term value.
What makes the twelve colour-coded cores so valuable?
Having twelve distinct colours (including Turquoise, Pink, Violet, and Grey beyond the standard eight) is invaluable for complex installations. You can assign specific colours to different alarm functions (intrusion zones, fire zones, panic circuits, power feeds, control circuits, etc.), different building areas, or different alarm system types. This comprehensive colour coding dramatically reduces installation errors, simplifies troubleshooting and maintenance, and makes system documentation clearer. In large, complex systems, proper colour coding isn’t just convenient – it’s essential for reliable operation and efficient maintenance.
Can this cable handle the most demanding installation environments?
Yes, this cable is engineered for the most challenging applications. The extended temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) covers extreme environments, the LSZH construction provides maximum fire safety in enclosed spaces and underground installations, the pure copper conductors ensure reliable performance over long distances, and the 5.40mm diameter, while larger, is still practical for installation through standard conduits. Whether it’s underground tunnels, high-security facilities, critical healthcare environments, or complex commercial buildings, this cable meets the most demanding requirements.
How does this cable simplify complex alarm installations?
Instead of running multiple 6 or 8 core cables (or a combination of different cables) throughout a large facility, you run a single 12 core cable. This dramatically simplifies installation: fewer cable pulls, less conduit space required, simpler routing, easier documentation, and reduced termination time at panels and junction boxes. The comprehensive twelve-colour coding ensures clarity even in the most complex configurations. For large buildings with multiple floors, zones, or functions, this consolidation saves significant installation time and reduces the chance of wiring errors, while the pure copper performance ensures every circuit operates optimally.
