The figure-8 profile separates the two cores side-by-side, allowing the cable to be split easily where branch connections are needed without stripping the full outer sheath. Each core has a 0.196mm² cross-sectional area and is rated for a maximum continuous current of 1A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for doorbell circuits, intercom systems, access control wiring and other low-voltage signalling applications, the cable suits residential, commercial and light industrial installation. The CCS conductor replaces traditional solid copper with a steel core clad in copper, reducing material cost while maintaining adequate conductivity for signal and control circuits. The white PVC sheath allows the cable to blend into painted surfaces, skirting runs and internal conduit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100m reel provides enough length to wire multiple doorbell positions or to run circuits across medium-sized buildings without joins. The 2 x 4mm diameter keeps the cable profile low enough to tuck under carpets, behind skirting and through tight wall cavities. At 1.3kg for the full 100m reel, the cable is light enough to handle during installation without additional support or cable management beyond basic clips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCCS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.196mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1A max.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable : diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 4mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable : length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.3kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 0.5mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is copper clad steel (CCS)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCS is a conductor type where a steel core wire is clad with a thin layer of copper. This reduces material cost compared to solid copper while maintaining enough conductivity for low-current signalling circuits such as doorbells and intercoms. CCS is not suitable for mains voltage or high-current applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage is this cable rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is designed for low-voltage circuits typical of doorbell and intercom systems, generally 12V-24V AC\/DC. It is not rated for mains voltage (230V) and must not be used for power distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the two cores be separated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The figure-8 profile allows the two cores to be pulled apart along the length of the cable where branch connections or individual core runs are needed, without stripping the outer sheath first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white PVC sheath provides basic moisture resistance but is not UV-stabilised or weatherproof to BS standards. For outdoor runs, the cable should be installed inside conduit or trunking to protect it from direct sunlight and standing water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313523056907,"sku":"808.207UK","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/808207UK_LD1_13fd1ccd-ef4c-44ef-89ea-895ce024084d.jpg?v=1715194952","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/mercury-2-core-figure-8-bell-cable-ccs-white-100m-0-196mm","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
