NF M 87-202 EIFA

Application

These NF M 87-202 EIFA instrumentation cables are used for safety extra-low use in petroleum and petrochemical units particularly for the transmission of a.c. or d.c. analogue signals, They are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications where hydrocarbons may be present and mechanical protections are needed (refinery areas, chemical plant…).
