YY Cable
YY Cable is a crucial component within the processing and production industries. It is used to transmit large volumes of information through their conductors whilst linking to multiple different areas in a system.
Often used in assembly lines, under light mechanical and environmental stresses, YY control flexes measure, control and regulate computer units. YY cable is unshielded making it more flexible, and therefore is often used within internal and dry environments. YY control flex, like SY cable, can be installed externally when protected against UV light.
Our Securi-Flex® YY range is available in an LSZH sheath and CCA rated to CRP, so is suitable where, in the event of a fire, toxicity and smoke would potentially lead to a risk of life.

What Kind of Alarm System Should I Get to Protect my Home?
If you’re looking to invest in a new Alarm System for your property, there’s a lot of different options to choose from. In this handy guide, we’ll break down the main options and their pros and cons, so that you’re well informed to make the best choice for your home security.There are a few different types of Alarm Systems, but the main ones we’ll go over are:Bells Only Alarm Systems Monitored Alarm Systems Dummy Alarm Boxes Bells Only Alarm SystemsThe most common type of Alarm System, a Bells Only system will ring a loud alarm when activated by an intruder. Bells Only systems will not contact the emergency services if a break-in is detected, so if you’re away from home you’ll have to rely on friends or neighbours for this.Due to UK laws surrounding noise pollution, most alarms will automatically disable after 20 minutes if not already deactivated via the control panel.Pros and consGenerally affordable Loud noise offers a good deterrent to burglars and alerts neighbours Will not contact the police in the event of a break-in Will not alert you if you are not home Monitored Alarm SystemsMonitored Alarm Systems are normally installed and controlled by home security companies. As opposed to a Bells Only System, they are consistently monitored by the security company, and in the event of a break-in, the company will notify both the homeowner and the police.Pros and consMost reliable and secure option Property safely monitored even when you are not home – no relying on friends or neighbours to contact the police in the event of a break-in Higher cost for installation Monthly fee required to be monitored Dummy Alarm BoxA Dummy Alarm Box is a visual deterrent that is fitted to the exterior of the property. It often features flashing LEDs to give the impression of a functioning alarm system. However, it does not emit any noise if the house is broken into – it simply acts as a visual warning to burglars that the house has an active security system (regardless of whether this is true or not). Dummy Alarm Boxes can be purchased from high-street retailers such as B&Q and Toolstation.Pros and consActs as a visual deterrent for burglars Cost-effective Does not actually provide any protection against burglary Experienced burglars may be able to recognise a dummy alarm system, and target your home as a result Wired vs Wireless Alarm SystemsOne of the decisions you will have to make when shopping for an Alarm System is whether to go wired or wireless.Wired Alarm Systems utilise electrical signal to transmit data from sensors to the alarms and main control panel, so rely on cables for the transmission of information. Because of this, the range within which a Wired Alarm System can send information to its sensors is as far as a length of cable can reach!Once installed, they require very little maintenance. Unless you’re a qualified electrician, we recommend that you get a professional to install a Wired Alarm System.Pros and cons of Wired Alarm SystemsVery reliable Little maintenance required once installed More difficult and expensive to install Wireless Alarm Systems, on the other hand, do not need cables to send information from sensors to the alarms and main control panel. Instead, they communicate via the home’s broadband network. Because of this, though, you have to be careful with where you place your sensors, as they might not reach the central hub if they’re too far away.Pros and cons of Wireless Alarm SystemsEasy to install, can install it yourself Battery changes required Limited range between sensors in some systems Here is our range of Alarm Cables.If you have any further questions that weren’t answered in this article, click here to speak to a member of our team of experts.

Smart Home Cabling & the Options Available
This article was first published on pewholesaler.co.uk on 16th January 2023. Click here for the original article.The Home Automation market is growing at a rapid pace. The demand for smarter homes, operated with home automation, is growing significantly. This is in part due to a rise in awareness of the smart home concept which has started being adopted globally, despite hampered growth levels during the COVID-19 pandemic.Did You Know?There are approximately 2.22 million smart homes in the UK! (Calculated by the number of households in the UK – 27.8 million – alongside the percentage of homes that own at least two smart devices, which is 8%, according to YouGov).What is a Smart Home?A smart home refers to an accessible home setup which allows homeowners to control appliances, thermostats, lights, and other devices remotely using a smartphone or tablet through an internet connection. For example, you can even use voice commands through Google Home or Amazon Alexa to complete basic tasks in your smart home.What is the Difference between ‘Home Automation’ and ‘Smart Home’?Home Automation is a system that allows your Smart Home to run automated services you may have set up. They will be pre-programmed by the user to deliver pre-defined preferences. The idea behind this, is that some things which you may do all the time on a routine basis should and can be fully automated. For example, with certain lighting, you might like it set to a preferred state which adjusts automatically to how you want it each time.Smart Home on the other hand, as mentioned can be controlled by the user via an app on their phone or by using an internet connection to connect to these devices, which in this context could be smart or dimmable bulbs.Why are Smart Homes Becoming More Desirable?An automated home, either fully or in part, provides numerous benefits to its user. This includes enhanced security for the protection of theft, protection from unauthorised access to the user’s home and the evolving need for energy-efficient solutions. For these reasons it’s no surprise that the market is gaining traction, particularly in the residential and commercial sectors in order to protect both personal and business-related assets.There’s been an increase in demand for home monitoring from remote locations. In line with technological advancements, the adoption of smart devices and growing number of smartphone and internet users worldwide are all contributing factors.Smart home statistics show that the global household penetration of products stood at 7.2% in 2019, according to Statista. This figure is reportedly set to increase to 16.7% by 2023, which is more than double and there’s certainly room for further growth.What is the Most Commonly Used Smart Home Product in Britain?According to YouGov, smart meters are the most commonly used smart home product in Britain. However as these are free, it is noted that smart speakers are the most popular smart home device by physical purchase, with 11% of consumers owning one. Among them, 69% chose the Amazon Echo, while a comparatively small 19% opted for Google Home.The Key Role Specially Developed Cabling can Play…This leads us to discuss Smart Home cabling and the options available.

EV Charging Cables & What They Do
This article was first published on pewholesaler.co.uk on 21st October 2021. Click here for the original article.Did you know? It’s reportedly three times cheaper to run an electric car than a petrol model. In addition, the average modern electric car has over 200 miles of range. So, let’s plug in and talk all things EV in the cable sector!According to a report published by Research Dive, the global EV charging cable market is predicted to garner a revenue of $1,277.7 million by 2026 and grow at a CAGR of 31.5% over the forecast period from 2019-2026.In a world of evolving technologies and the stats mentioned above, it’s no surprise that the demand for electric cars is on the rise and EV charging cables are quickly becoming a hot topic in the electrical wholesale market. We’re taking a closer look at what these EV cables are and what they do...Our EV CablesWe’ll look at two different types of cable here that we refer to as ‘EV Cable’. Firstly, the infrastructure cable we stock at Securi-Flex® which is used in the installation of the electric vehicle charging points. Secondly, there is what’s known as flexible 'tail' cable complete with connectors, which is used when connecting the car to the charging point. The latter is made to EN50620 / IEC62893-3 and is often H07BZ5-F type, which is either provided with the wall outlet or supplied with the car itself.EV Cable UsesOur EV cables are designed for use in the installation of electric vehicle charging points. This innovative cable offers a complete solution for where both power and data are required, achieving a quicker, easier and neater installation. The benefit of this of course is being able to use just a single cable, compared with a previously complicated system of pulling in multiple cable types to achieve the same result. The EV cable consists of power conductors and data cables that are rated to the same nominal voltage; therefore, segregation of power and data is not required.Available in 3 core and 5 core variations that meet the requirements of single and three phase EV charge points respectively.The cable incorporates power conductors and a 2 core screened data cable, encapsulated in a double sheathed design for extra protection. These cables are designed to be installed in air, clipped to surface, on cable tray/ ladder work and embedded in concrete. The cables can be laid direct in the ground providing that suitable mechanical protection is in place. Available in both PVC Tuff-Sheath or SWA variants.Just like charging your phone, each type of vehicle model will require a different kind of cable to make the right connection. There’s a port on the car and another on the charging station, and the cable will need to plug in to both of them. Most electric cars will have one of two different cable connector plugs, these are aptly named Type 1 and Type 2 connectors.Which EV Charging Cable Do I Use?Type 1 and Type 2 plugs are used to charge at ‘slow' or ‘fast' speeds.Type 1 plugs can reach a maximum of around 7kW, while Type 2 chargers can go all the way up to 22kW, if your car is enabled for this level of charging of course - meaning Type 1 plugs cannot take advantage of the higher charging speeds that Type 2 cables can typically charge at.For now, Type 2 plugs are more popular than all others and are largely considered the standard cable in the EV world.You can identify a Type 2 charging cable by counting the 'pins' in the connector – there should be five holes with actual pins inside, and then another two holes at the bottom.Type 1 cables however, have five pins in their connectors with a latch on top, which fixes to charging ports and stops the cable from being accidentally removed during a charging session.It's becoming more evident that the UK's charging network needs to expand, as the results of The National Home Energy Survey highlighted that 69% of UK residents said they would buy an EV if money were no object. A further 17% plan to buy one in the next 12 months, making the need to increase charging stations (both public and residential) a pressing issue.Fun Fact!The perks of a high-end EV begins with an interesting new feature of Tesla cars - the recently introduced ‘Dog Mode’. Drivers with pets in the car can use the Overheat Cabin Protection function to keep the car at a cool temperature for pets left inside. Even more clever than that, the car also displays a large message on the centre touchscreen panel which informs passers-by that all is well and the pet is being kept at a comfortable temperature.Securi-Flex® stock a range of EV cables suitable for installing electric vehicle charging points.

RS485 Cable vs Other Communication Standards - What’s the Difference?
RS485, RS232, and Ethernet are different communication standards used in various applications. In this guide, we will compare them in terms of their advantages, limitations, and suitable applications.RS485 CableWhat are the advantages of RS485?RS485 cables support long-distance communication (up to 1200m) and multi-drop network configurations, allowing multiple devices to be connected on a single bus. They feature excellent noise immunity, making them suitable for industrial environments. RS485 modbus cables are also well known for their robustness, reliability, and simple wiring.What limitations may you come across with RS485 cable?RS485 has a lower data transfer rate compared to Ethernet and USB. It does not provide power over the cable length, so separate power connections may be required for connected devices.What applications is RS485 most suitable for?RS485 is commonly used in industrial automation, process control systems, building automation, and HVAC systems.RS232 CableWhat are the advantages of RS232?RS232 cables support short-distance communication (up to 15m) and are widely available on older computer systems. They have a simple and straightforward interface, making them easy to implement.What limitations may you come across with RS232?RS232 is limited in terms of data transfer rate and cannot support long-distance communication without signal degradation or additional repeaters. It is susceptible to noise interference, making it less suitable for industrial environments.What applications is RS232 cable most suitable for?RS232 is often used for point-to-point communication between a computer and peripherals such as modems, printers, and serial devices. For more information on this, check out our article on how RS232 cable can be used to connect legacy systems with modern technology.Ethernet CableWhat are the advantages of Ethernet?Ethernet provides high-speed data transfer rates (typically up to Gigabit or higher) and supports long-distance communication (up to 100m with standard Ethernet cables). It offers a standardised networking protocol and is widely used in LAN (Local Area Network) environments.What limitations may you come across with Ethernet?Ethernet requires more complex wiring and networking infrastructure compared to RS485 or RS232. It may not be as robust in harsh industrial environments, due to its sensitivity to electrical noise.What applications is Ethernet most suitable for?Ethernet is commonly used for computer networking, internet connectivity, IP-based cameras, and data-intensive applications.What is the compatibility between RS485, RS232 & Ethernet?RS232 and RS485 use different electrical signalling and voltage levels, so you cannot directly connect an RS232 cable to an RS485 device. You would need a converter or an RS232 to RS485 adapter to communicate between the two standards.Ethernet Cable vs. RS485: Ethernet cables, such as Cat5e or Cat6, cannot be directly used for RS485 communication. Ethernet cables have different wiring configurations and use different signalling methods compared to RS485. An appropriate RS485 cable or converter is needed for RS485 communication.Cat5e cables are commonly used for Ethernet networking, not RS485. However, with proper wiring configuration, Cat5e cables can be used for RS485 communication in some cases. It is important to follow the correct pinout and ensure the wiring matches the RS485 standard.In summary:RS485 is a suitable choice for long-distance and multi-drop communication in industrial environments RS232 is useful for short-distance point-to-point connections Ethernet excels in high-speed Local Area Network (LAN) If you have any questions that weren’t answered in this guide, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our friendly team.

Enhancing Safety - LSF vs LSZH
Understanding The Key Differences Between LSF and LSZH Cable Sheaths:In the intricate realm of the electrical industry, safety remains an unwavering priority.Amongst the many components that contribute to safety, cable sheaths play a crucial role in containing potential hazards during fire incidents.Two essential terms commonly used amongst the electrical industry are "LSF" (Low Smoke and Fume) and "LSZH" (Low Smoke Zero Halogen).While they may appear similar, it is crucial to understand the difference and purposes of each cable sheath material.Securi-Flex® knows it's important to understand the differences between the two materials. In this article, we'll examine these differences more closely.LSF Cables:Manufacturers produce LSF cables using a modified PVC compound that produces less HCL gas and smoke than regular PVC cables. LSF cables create between 15-22% of HCL gas and emit black smoke because of the presence of PVC. It is vital not to confuse LSF cables with LSZH cables, as LSF cables do contain halogen materials. They are often chosen as a cost alternative to LSZH, however they should not be confused with LSZH cables. They are not recommended for use in public or commercial buildings, as well as poorly ventilated areas. LSZH Cables:LSZH cables are manufactured using halogen-free compounds. They are effective fire retardants while emitting less than 0.5% hydrogen chloride gas and smoke when burned. During a fire, LSZH cables produce small amounts of light grey smoke and HCL gas. The absence of PVC in LSZH cables ensures no harmful fumes or black smoke are emitted during the event of a fire. Ideal for public buildings such as airports, railway stations (London Underground), computer rooms, and data centres. Low smoke generation ensures evacuation routes and signage remain visible during emergencies. Choosing the Right Cable:The choice between LSF, and LSZH cables depends on the fire risk, flexibility needs, and safety considerations.LSF cables offer a slight improvement over PVC cables but can still emit toxic gases and dense black smoke.However, LSZH cables reduce emissions and experts recommend them for high-risk areas.The CPR categorises cables by fire performance, however it doesn't cover toxic fumes and smoke.Installers must carefully choose cables appropriate for the specific fire risks in a building or application.In Summary:Understanding the differences between LSF and LSZH cables is vital for making informed decisions that prioritise safety in different scenarios.While LSF cables can offer cost advantages, they may not be suitable for critical areas, where LSZH cables are strongly recommended to ensure a safer environment during the event of a fire.Choosing the right cable can significantly contribute to enhancing overall fire safety and exposure.If you have any questions that weren't answered in this article, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our friendly team.We're always happy to help!
