Product Description
This is a 100-metre reel of CQR CABTP2X2/GY/LSF100 data cable, built to the Belden Style 8723 specification — a well-known reference standard for screened data cabling used in alarm, access control and CCTV data runs.
What it's actually for
Each cable contains 2 individually screened pairs — the screening (a foil or braid wrap around each pair) cuts electrical interference from mains cabling, motors or fluorescent lighting running nearby, which matters if your cable route crosses power cables rather than staying clear of them.
Key specs
- Type 8723, Belden equivalent construction
- 2 individually screened pairs — each pair shielded separately, not just as a bundle
- 100% copper cores — better conductivity than copper-clad steel alternatives, relevant for signal integrity over longer runs
- LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath — produces less toxic smoke and fume if it's ever exposed to fire
- CPR Euroclass Eca — the minimum fire-performance rating under the EU/UK Construction Products Regulation for cables installed in buildings
- Supplied as a 100m reel, grey sheath
Before you buy
Check the pair count and screening against your existing installation or spec sheet — this is a 2-pair screened cable, not a multi-core bundle, so confirm it matches what your equipment or contract specification calls for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the screening on this cable actually do?
Each pair is individually wrapped to reduce electrical interference from nearby mains cabling or equipment, which helps keep the data signal clean.
Is this cable rated for use inside buildings under fire regulations?
Yes — it carries a CPR Euroclass Eca rating, the minimum fire-performance class required for cables installed in buildings under the Construction Products Regulation.
Is this a multi-pair cable or just two pairs?
It's a 2-pair cable, with each pair individually screened rather than one shield around a larger bundle — check this matches your installation's requirements before ordering.
What does LSZH mean and why does it matter?
Low smoke zero halogen — the sheath gives off less toxic smoke and fume if exposed to fire, which is often specified for cable runs in occupied buildings.
