- $46.40SKU: 99-9318250
Kramer 99-9318250 Bulk Speaker Cable 18AWG - Plenum Rated, 250'
- 18 AWG stranded 2-conductor speaker cable; CMP (Communications Multipurpose Cable Plenum) rated; 250-foot reel
- Plenum-rated (CMP): required by the National Electrical Code (NEC Article 800) for cable routed through air-handling ceiling plenums and HVAC return-air spaces in commercial buildings - plenum cable uses flame-retardant, low-smoke materials that meet the more stringent NEC plenum fire safety requirements vs. CMR riser-rated or CM-rated cables
- 18 AWG wire gauge is appropriate for background music and paging applications at typical distributed audio levels and run lengths (up to approximately 50 feet per conductor at 8Ω for less than 0.5dB loss); for longer runs requiring lower resistance, see the 14 AWG 99-2416300
$46.40Low Price Guarantee - $360.00SKU: 99-0450100
Kramer 99-0450100 Four–Pair Cat7a S/FTP Data Bulk Cable (23AWG)
- Quality Construction - 4 individually aluminum–foil shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP), cabled with a drain conductor and overall braid–shielded
- Optimized for Kramer Hardware - Use with any of Kramer’s wide range of twisted pair digital transmitter–receiver sets. Terminate with shielded RJ–45 connectors
$360.00Low Price Guarantee - $483.20SKU: 99-0440300
Kramer 99-0440300 Cat6 Cable for Digital Tx/Rx (1000')
- Cat6 UTP solid-conductor 23 AWG bulk cable; 1,000-foot reel; validated for use with Kramer HDBaseT, DGKat, and other digital Tx/Rx extender systems
- Kramer-validated cable for digital extenders: the Cat6 parameters (characteristic impedance, attenuation, NEXT, return loss) of this specific cable are known to meet Kramer extender requirements - using validated cable reduces the risk of signal issues at maximum extension distances that unvalidated generic Cat6 may exhibit
- Solid-conductor 23 AWG construction is the correct cable type for in-wall and structured cabling runs; for patch cords and flexible jumper applications, stranded conductor cables are preferred
$483.20Low Price Guarantee - $755.20SKU: 99-2416300
Kramer 99-2416300 Low Smoke Speaker Cable 14 AWG, 985'
- 14 AWG stranded 2-conductor speaker cable; Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket; 985-foot (300-meter) reel
- LSZH jacket: in a fire, standard PVC cable jackets emit thick black smoke and toxic halogen gases that impede evacuation and cause injury - LSZH jackets produce significantly less smoke and no halogen gases, required or preferred in EU buildings, transportation infrastructure, schools, and public-access spaces under local fire safety regulations
- 14 AWG wire gauge provides low resistance for longer speaker cable runs (up to approximately 100 feet per conductor at 8Ω load for less than 0.5dB loss) and handles the current of typical 4-8Ω commercial speaker installations

Installation Tools & Supplies Frequently Asked Questions
What tools do I need to install a surveillance camera?
To install a surveillance camera, you'll typically need a drill, screwdriver, and various installation tools like cable strippers and crimpers. Additionally, having a level and measuring tape can help ensure proper placement. Depending on the type of camera, you may also need specific cables, connectors, and mounting hardware, which are often included in the camera kit.
How do I choose the right cable for my surveillance system?
The right cable for a surveillance system depends on the camera type and distance from the recording device. Common options include coaxial cables for analog cameras and Ethernet cables for IP cameras. Ensure the cable is compatible with your system's specifications, such as gauge and shielding type, to maintain video quality and prevent interference.
What is the purpose of a keystone jack in surveillance installation?
A keystone jack is used to connect cables in a structured wiring system, providing a secure and organized way to connect surveillance cameras to networking equipment. It allows for easy insertion and removal of cables, facilitating maintenance and upgrades. Using keystone jacks can help manage cable clutter and improve the overall aesthetics of your installation.
Do I need special tools for terminating alarm wire?
Yes, terminating alarm wire requires specific tools, such as a wire stripper, crimper, and possibly a punch-down tool for connecting wires to terminals. These tools ensure proper connections and minimize signal loss, which is crucial for the reliability of your alarm system. Using the right tools can also prevent damage to the wires during the termination process.
What should I consider when selecting installation supplies for my surveillance system?
When selecting installation supplies, consider the type of surveillance system, the environment (indoor or outdoor), and the distance between components. Look for high-quality cables, connectors, and tools that match the specifications of your cameras and recording devices. Additionally, ensure that the supplies are compatible with the installation location to avoid issues like signal loss or physical damage.
