EN 50288-7 Cables
XLPE Insulated, PVC sheathed, Individual and Overall Screened Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)
RE-2X(St)Y PIMF 90°c / 300V
APPLICATION
For transmission of analogue and digital signals in instrument and control systems; allowed for use in zone 1 and zone 2, group II, classified areas (IEC 79-14), not allowed for direct connection to low impedance sources, e.g. public mains electricity supply. Recommended for indoor and outerdoor installation, on racks, trays, in conduits, in dry and wet locations; not for direct buiral. Recommended for use as fire protection messure for people and important material assets.

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
- Conductor: Annealed copper solid or plain copper stranded to IEC 60228 Class 2.
- Insulation: Extruded cross-linked XLPE compound as per EN 50290-2-29.
- Pairs: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
- Individual Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over each pair metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm^2
- Binder tape: PETP transparent tape
- Overall Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm^2
- Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound as per EN 50290-2-22. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
COLOUR CODE
- Insulation: Black / White, continuously numbered on white core(1, 2..)for multipair.
- Outer Sheath: Black or blue for intrinsically safe systems
PHYSICAL and THERMAL PROPERTIES
- Temperature Range During Operation (Fixed State): -30°C – +90°C
- Temperature Range During Installation (Mobile State): -5°C – +50°C
- Minimum Bending Radius: 7.5 X Overall Diameter
- Sunlight Resistance: UL 1581 section 1200
- Oil Resistance: ICEA S-73-532(Test temperature +60°C, duration 4h. Retention: min 60% of tensile strength/min.60% of elongation)
