FAQ: Security System Wire

One of the questions we are asked frequently at SafeMart concerns the best type of alarm wire to use when wiring a security system.  There are different options available and many types may work on a given system, but the simple answer is 22 gauge, 4 conductor wire.  4 conductor wire allows you to wire most devices (which can usually use 2 conductor) but also certain smoke detectors which require 4 conductor.  As always, alarm wire can be purchased at the lowest possible prices at SafeMart.com.
