Hi I’m installing a disabled toilet alarm and they need an extra beacon in the office about 100mt away. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what cable to use for this longer run

I must admit I had exactly the same thought before I saw your post.maybe? Or maybe not suitable?MAINSLINK 5KM WIRELESS MAINS TO MAINS 230VAC LINK
MAINSLINK is a plug and play solution to replace a switched live cable. When 230Vac “LIVE” is input to the transmitter; the receiver provides a 230Vac “LIVE” switched output at its screw terminals. When a cable run is awkward or expensive to achieve, the MAINSLINK can be used, saving time and...www.rfsolutions.co.uk
Alarm cable will be used for the rest of the system. I just thought with that long a run I might need to size it up a bit. It’s 12v DCThe same cable as you used for the rest of the system.
Now I’m awake, two more thoughts.
1 - is the same way I wouldn’t trust a nest to be a frost stat, for something like this it’s probably not good practise to use wireless.
2 - I’ve fitted a couple that are extra low voltage so volt drop over 100m needs considering
OP is this all within a building or is the office in a different building? Is it a 12/24v dc system?
It’s in a factory toilet in the warehouse. Will be 12v DCNow I’m awake, two more thoughts.

I agree, I thought after my post that this is a safety system, and the product I mentioned is not designed for that application, so is a really bad idea!1 - is the same way I wouldn’t trust a nest to be a frost stat, for something like this it’s probably not good practise to use wireless.
