Bell Cable

Two core figure-8 bell cable from AVSL for doorbell, chime and low-voltage signal runs. Supplied in white on a 100m reel with a 0.196mm² copper-clad steel conductor, the flat figure-8 profile splits easily into two cores for terminating at a bell push, transformer or chime. It suits surface clipping along skirting and architrave where a discreet, low-voltage run is needed.

What bell cable does

Bell cable is the thin two core wire that links a doorbell push to its chime or transformer. It carries the low-voltage signal that rings the bell, which is why it can be so much lighter than mains cable. For doorbells, chimes and similar low-voltage runs around the home, this is the cable to reach for.

The figure-8 profile

This cable uses a flat figure-8 shape, where the two cores sit side by side in one moulding. The benefit is at the ends: you can pull the two cores apart with your fingers to give yourself bare tails for terminating, then leave the rest joined along the run. It makes wiring up a bell push or chime quick and tidy.

Copper-clad steel cores

The cores are copper-clad steel, a steel strand with a copper skin. The steel keeps the thin conductor from stretching and snapping as you route it, while the copper surface carries the signal. It is a practical build for the light duty a bell circuit asks of it.

White on a 100m reel

Supplied in white on a 100m reel, the cable is easy to run along skirting and architrave where you want it to go unnoticed. The reel gives you plenty to work with, so you can take the cable from the push back to the chime or transformer in one piece and clip it neatly as you go.

Where it suits

Surface clipping is the natural home for this cable, following the line of a skirting board or door frame to the bell point. Because it is light and flexible, it tucks into corners and behind mouldings where a heavier cable would be awkward to route.

Wiring it up

A bell circuit is low voltage, but the connections still want to be made carefully so the push, chime and transformer all talk to one another. Split the figure-8 into two cores at each end, terminate them at the right points, and the cable does the rest. Free UK delivery over £99, worldwide shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bell cable used for?
It carries the low-voltage signal between a bell push, a transformer and a chime or buzzer. The two cores handle the simple circuit a wired doorbell needs. It is not intended for mains-voltage lighting or socket circuits.

How much cable is on the reel?
The reel holds 100m of two core figure-8 cable, enough for several runs in most homes. The figure-8 shape pulls apart cleanly into two separate cores for connecting at each end.

Can I run this cable on the surface?
Yes. The thin white profile clips neatly along skirting boards, door frames and architrave, which makes it well suited to retrofitting a wired doorbell without lifting plaster. Keep it clear of mains cabling on its route.

Does bell cable need an electrician to install?
The low-voltage bell side is a simple two-core circuit many people wire themselves. Where it connects to a mains transformer or any fixed mains wiring, that part should be carried out by a qualified electrician. UK delivery is £14.99, free over £99.
