Wire prices

[Robert L Bass]

I am not worried about ME doing the nick job.

It's these guys that you pay on Friday that do
that for you...

There's a solution to that -- training. In my company we taught each new installer how to do it just as we taught them how to do
every other aspect of the job. I rarely hired people away from other companies. There was always too much bad training for them to
unlearn.

I had one guy who worked with me for nearly twenty years. Len was one of the best installers I've ever known. The guy could wire a
brick... concealed. :^) He's still in the business.

I use solid all the way, and never have an issue with nicks. Perhaps if
you shouldn't hire epileptic installers. Hire a reliable moyul for
snipping cables

Look at the original and notice my foot in mouth regarding shaky hands
"Perhaps if you shouldn't" ?
That's what I get for being a wiseass.

here we use solid for everything but 2 thing

access reader cabling and latch/electromagnet...

why? cause we cant find flexible enough solid 18/7 shielded for readers this
can be real pain to fish....

and we use 18/2 stranded cause it wont break easily when placed in a current
transfer ..

Shhhhhhhhhh I have the Texan thinking a Menorah is an Italian

It's a Kosher candelabra you socially challenged heathen.

 

[Mark Leuck]

Does stranded work better for that or solid?

You use wire?, to seal the boxes? surely packing tape would be more suitable
for your business.

18/4 for picking teeth? Maybe if you have a Jack O Lantern smile.
Use tie wraps. They fit better and they leave you feeling oh so fresh.

 

[Doug]

If its a little tight, then just strip the outer jacket off first.

British teeth have larger gaps so 18/4 fits for you. Canucks have
hockey teeth so they can gey away with using a pitchfork.
I'll stick with tie wraps.

I just soak mine overnight in steradent, no need for tie wraps, stripping
wire or any other nonsense, and just what is flossing anyway?

Nope, I really mean 18/7 + shield

we use the extra pair not used in the cabling for arming request,or for the
second reader data 0 and 1 on in/out doors
in the last case the power (black,red) and the led line (brown) are common
for both reader and green/white is data for reader in the other pair, data
for reader out....

here we have 2 kind of those cable one have
red,black,white,green,orange,blue and brown,the other one (with much more
thicker jacket) have the same colour scheme but the last one is white with
black spot..

 

[Bob Worthy]

I don't know, but solid is good for picking your teeth.

With the jacket on?

 

[Bob Worthy]

Teeth as in more than one?

That is why the inventor called it a "tooth" brush. He was from Texas. If it
was invented anywhere else it would have been known as a teeth brush.

 

[Bob Worthy]

Hmmm....toothbrush.....weedwacker....??? So many choices, so little time.

18/7? I have heard of 18/6 for readers and use it often. 18/7? Are you
counting the drain?

Yeah. We have "weird wire" here. Fire cable comes in "odd" conductors.
18/3, 18,5, 18/7, etc. That's because CAN/ULC-S524 (Installation
Standard for Fire Alarm Systems) requires every device backbox be bonded
to ground. Ask "FireTek". He's the expert.
