I don't know how 7 core can use for all gate, bell and light. Unless the light control are build on the autogate controller.

From my calculation you need 11 cores:-

Power = 3 Cores (L,N, & E)
Autogate Switch = 4 Cores (for 2 switch), some use 3 cores
Bell = 2 Cores
Light = 2 Cores

So you use up all 11, maybe 10

Nothing is perfect at first time. So correction / corrective action will always happen.

the minimum as below:

Power = 2 Cores (L,N)
the steel wire inside the 1st pvc skin  =  (E)

from WIKI: Armour: Steel wire armour provides mechanical protection, which means the cable can withstand higher stresses, be buried directly and used in external or underground projects.[4] The armouring is normally connected to earth and can also be used as the circuit protective conductor ("earth wire") for the equipment supplied by cable.

Autogate Switch = 3 Cores (for 2 switch)
Bell = 2 Cores
Light = 1 Cores (L only, N & E share with auto gate power)
total 8 cores
for 7 cores, the auto gate the lights on/ off control by the auto gate control panel.

7 cores = +- rm9.50/M
11 cores =+-rm15/M

go for 11 cores so that can have some spare, the cable wont cost much for link house 10m is more than enough whistling.gif

The Steel protective usually is not grounded, unless the wireman do it. Also it usually cut out on the switch panel / faceplate.

Why not ask what is inclusive of the price? Some are higher because involve hacking

Mine is this price because they don't have hack the floor, because the floor is tear down and rebuild a concrete floor by my wet work contractor.
