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.

Introducing Frequently Asked Questions

Lets face it. When we're researching a new product, especially if its an industry we're not familiar with, we come across terms or statements that make absolutely no sense. So, if you're in the farming industry, you probably know the difference between a gilt and a sow. If not, the terms probably mean nothing to you. This is true across every single industry. It becomes even more evident when we're dealing with a technologically advanced product, like home security.

Because of this, I want to introduce a new feature to this blog: Frequently Asked Questions. These are questions that either you, the reader, or our customers have asked. These will be posted at least twice a week, if not more. If you have any questions that you want answered, or more information on a given answer, use the comments box to let me know.
