Flame Retardant Individual and Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (multipair)

RE-2X(st)HSWAH Pimf

Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

Application

The armoured LSZH sheathed cables are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally, the cables are used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services. Also used for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, the LSZH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume emission. This product type is TUV approved.

Cable Construction

Conductor: Plain or metal coated copper wire, solid, stranded or flexible according to IEC 60228 class 1, 2 and 5.
Insulation: Extruded XLPE compound according to EN 50290-2-29. LSZH, PE, PP compound can be offered as options.
Pairs: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm (≤1.5mm2) or 150mm (for 2.5mm2).
Individual Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs with metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm².
Binder tape: PETP transparent tape
Overall Screen: Overall Screen:Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs with metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm². Copper braid screen or aluminium/polyester tape combined with copper braid screen can be offered as option.
Inner Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound.
Amouring: Galvanized steel wire armour
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound according to EN 50290-2-22.
Outer Sheath Option: Thermoplastic LSZH compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti-rodent and anti-termite properties can be offered as option.

Colour Code

Insulation Colour: Colours and/or additional ring markings and/or symbols achieved by the use of coloured insulation or by a coloured surface using extrusion, printing or painting.
Outer sheath: Black . Other colours can be offered upon request.
