Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists Security Alarm Cables Are Simply the Best

Despite the claims of other manufacturers, Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists’ (EWCS) Security Alarm Cables are made to be the best available. There are several reasons why.

Start with Better Materials
EWCS manufactures their Security Alarm Cables in the United States from metals and materials sourced in the USA. Many other companies source base metal and materials from offshore vendors to keep their costs low and their profit higher. EWCS isn’t willing to sacrifice quality to make an extra buck or two. By incorporating better quality components to manufacture and assemble their cables, EWCS is able to provide their customers with the highest-quality products. That’s important if you want to keep your customers your customers.


Combine Better Materials with Better Engineering
Paying attention to the details means fewer problems, both for the customer and for the company. The copper wiring that goes into the conduit wires in the cables has to be flawless. Otherwise, there may be a signal breakdown or fracture in the wire reducing or completely eliminating the wire’s conductivity. Cuts and nicks on the surface of the copper are the result of inferior manufacturing and quality control.

Choices Are Always Best

EWCS manufactures their Security Alarm Cables in the following specifications:

● 14 AWG - 2 conduit FPLR Riser Rated Shielded & Non-Shielded
● 16 AWG - 2 conduit FPLR Riser Rated Shielded & Non-Shielded
● 18 AWG - 2 conduit FPLR Riser Rated Shielded
● 18 AWG - 4 conduit FPLR Riser Rated Non-Shielded

All EWCS Security Alarm Cables come with aRed PVC Jacket or Low Smoke Plenum Rated Jacket, Nominal Diameter of .176", Sequential Footage Marking, and Rip Cord to Facilitate Easy Stripping.

A Good Deal Gets Even Better
The quality of the products makes for a good deal. When the quality of the company is factored in, the deal gets better. For a quarter of a century, Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists has been providing the best products to its customers. EWCS adds even more value by maintaining and operating shipping from a network of seven service centers across America. And then they add even greater value by having free two-day to three day shipping on all their products. The last and final part of the deal that makes it impossible to pass up is that EWCS sells factory direct to its customers. No distributor or middleman to mark up the products an extra 40% to 50%.

Do the Math
Quality Products + Quality Company + Free Two-Day Shipping + Factory Direct Pricing = Fantastic Deals! There’s actually more to the picture. EWCS can custom manufacture special order products and they sell all the needed accessories to complete an order. And there’s one more thing; large quantity order discounts. Add it all up and you just can’t beat the deal EWCS brings to the table.

Made in the USA
EWCS is proud to manufacture and sell its products in the USA. In a time when the value of offshore products is under close scrutiny, it’s good to know EWCS doesn’t cut corners by using any offshore metals or materials. Made in the USA means a lot to EWCS’ customers because they know they can count on the products they order from EWCS to perform for the long term. That means peace of mind.

Common Questions About Security and Alarm Cables, Answered

Not sure which type of security or alarm cable your facility or system needs? Hopefully, these answers to common questions can help! What cable is used for alarm systems? Security and alarm systems are usually wired with small-gauge wire specifically designed for the purpose. For instance, many security systems are wired with 12 and 18 AWG gauge alarm wire, as these low-voltage applications do not necessarily require larger, heavier wires. However, larger or wire gauges may be required depending on the circumstances. Also, there are some unique requirements for some systems. For instance, fire alarm cables must be made with specific insulation that is heat resistant and which does not produce toxic smoke when burned. What gauge cable do you need for alarm systems? Only your specific system requirements can answer that question, but often large wire gauges (that is, smaller wires) are used as security and alarm cables because of the low-voltage, low-current application. What is ...

Wire Voltage Ratings, Explained

Voltage rating is one of the most basic, fundamental ratings associated with electrical wire and cable, given in volts. Voltage itself is a measurement of electrical potential, calculated by multiplying a given electrical current (in amperes, I), by the resistance of a conductor, (in ohms, Ω). The material of the conductor, as well as the thickness, will all impact resistance. These things, being variables from which voltage is drawn, affect voltage rating. Think of voltage as the force “pushing” the electricity through a wire or cable, similar to how plumbing pipes experience line pressure, except that line pressure is measured in PSI instead of volts. Just like with water pipes, it is essential never to exceed the voltage rating of a given conductor - but instead of a burst pipe, exceeding the voltage rating of an electrical conductor can cause overheating, fires, and an elevated risk of dangerous electrical shock. But what exactly is a wire’s voltage rating? ...

Buying Quality Marine Electrical Wire

When it comes to wiring in marine environments, you have to start with a new set of rules. The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) has its own set of guidelines that differ significantly from wiring in terrestrial applications. Before you start your next marine wiring project, it’s important to reference these guidelines to ensure you are using the proper marine electrical wire and proper terminal connections to avoid the possibility of potentially catastrophic electrical failure. Knowing what to look for before you purchase your wire can help ensure that your boat is wired safely. Marine environments have to deal with a lot of movement. Between the gentle rocking that experienced in your dock or harbor to the violent jarring when cutting through the waves, boats almost never standstill. Because of all this movement, it’s crucial to have flexible cables that can move without cracking their insulation or coming disconnected. In order to achieve this level of flexibility, marin...
