Intercom Cables Selection Guide: Technical Criteria & Application Standards
Intercom Cables selection guide: technical parameters, mounting and compliance standards, and Mekas Kablo, Reçber Kablo, 2M Kablo comparison.
An intercom cable is a fine cross-section, multicore low-current cable that carries voice, call and door automation signals between the bell panel at an apartment or housing complex entrance and the in-unit stations. It is used in the intercom, doorbell and interphone installations of apartment buildings, housing complexes and workplaces; Mekas's 13-core DT13 products are also listed under the name elevator control cable. In this category, 8-core DT8 and 13-core DT13 cables in 0.14 mm² and 0.22 mm² cross-sections, in PVC, halogen-free (HF, HFFR) and PE sheathed versions, are sold by the meter from the Mekas, Reçber and 2M brands. Choose the number of cores according to the wiring diagram of the intercom system, the cross-section according to the distance between the panel and the farthest unit, and the sheath material according to the installation location. A PE sheath is preferred for outdoor and damp installation conditions, and a halogen-free sheath for indoor lines in projects that require it. An intercom cable is not a category-rated data cable; it is not a substitute for the Cat5e or Cat6 cable that the manufacturer requires for IP-based video intercom systems. The Intercom Cables category on Welibaba includes 10 active models from leading manufacturers such as Mekas Kablo, Reçber Kablo, 2M Kablo.
