How does FTP cable differ from UTP?

FTP is twisted pair with a common foil shield protecting against external electromagnetic interference. UTP is unshielded twisted pair, used where interference is minimal. For industrial sites and zones with power equipment, FTP is recommended.

What cable is needed for fire alarms?

For fire alarms on evacuation routes, cables with the ng(A)-FRLS index are used — they do not spread flame in a bundle and emit a limited amount of smoke. This requirement is explicitly stated in fire safety codes.

Can twisted pair be used for analog video surveillance?

Yes, with the use of passive or active transceivers (baluns), twisted pair is used to transmit an analog video signal over distances of up to 300–500 m. For IP video surveillance, category 5e twisted pair is the standard.

How do I calculate what cable cross-section is needed to power cameras?

The cross-section is chosen based on the total load current and the route length, so that the voltage drop does not exceed the permissible level. Our engineers perform the calculation free of charge when preparing a project or commercial proposal.

Do you deliver cable to the regions of Uzbekistan?

Yes, SAT Solutions arranges delivery to sites anywhere in Uzbekistan. Delivery terms and conditions are agreed upon when placing the order.

Cable — guide & FAQ

Cables for security systems and low-current networks are the foundation of any engineering infrastructure. Without a properly chosen cable, neither a surveillance camera, nor a fire detector, nor an access control system will work stably. The SAT Solutions catalog offers cables of various types and cross-sections: signal, twisted pair, fire-resistant, electrical — everything needed for installing low-current and power lines at sites of any scale in Tashkent and throughout Uzbekistan.

The choice of cable is determined by the type of system, the route length, the installation conditions, and fire safety requirements. For security alarm systems, signal cables of the KSPV and KSVPPETross types are suitable, for structured cabling networks — category 5e twisted pair, for equipment power — PVS and PUGNP wires of the required cross-section. Fire-resistant cables of the FRLS and ng(A) grades are mandatory on evacuation routes and in places where the cable line must remain functional during a fire. Our catalog with a constant range in stock allows you to buy cable of the required type and cross-section in Tashkent with delivery to the site.

Professional installation of low-current systems is impossible without an accurate calculation of the cable route. Experienced SAT Solutions engineers select the type and grade of cable based on the design solution, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements. This approach eliminates rework and guarantees the durability of the system throughout its entire service life.

How to choose

System type: for security and fire alarms, signal cables are used (KSPV, KSVVEng, KPSng-FRLS), for surveillance — coaxial cable or twisted pair, for local networks — category 5e twisted pair and higher, for power supply — PVS or PUGNP power wires.
Conductor cross-section: determines the permissible current and voltage drop on long routes. For signal circuits, 0.4–0.8 mm is usually sufficient, for 12/24 V power — from 0.75 mm², for 220 V power lines — from 1.5 to 2.5 mm² and more.
Number of conductors: depends on the connection scheme. Two-conductor cables are used for simple loops, four-conductor and multi-conductor ones — for RS-485 interfaces, addressable systems, and combined routing of power and signal.
Shielding: shielded cables (FTP, E in the marking) protect against electromagnetic interference — important at industrial sites and near power lines.
