Does anyone know what wires these are

[Flasher272]

So I was installing something and accidentally cut the alarm wire going to the door sensor. It was two braided wires. Please see pics below. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It looks like twisted pair we use for Telecom cable , but we are UK based.

Can you ease off sufficient slack to fit an inline coupler or jelly crimps?

Do you know what kind it would be?

No i tried but there isn’t enough slack and it’s in the wall stapled down

Your pic is not very clear but it looks like single strand twisted pair.
I do not know your equivalent , or what you use for alarm cable.

How far from either the panel or the device end?
Can you replace a section either back or forward?
Or if not, possibly make off two joints with a new section of cable?

It’s far from the panel but the problem is that the wires were covered in spray insulation and that’s why I didn’t see them originally. So it would take a lot to cut the line from all the insulation.

If that’s my only solution I may have to do that

Is that a twin cable?

Yes I believe so I think

Not single strand, twisted but each in their own coating separate and not in another wire casing

Solder and some heatshrink maybe.
