EN 50288-7 Cables

PE Insulated, PVC Sheathed & Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2Y(St)YSWAY 70°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

EN50288-7

  • Conductor: Annealed copper solid or plain copper stranded to IEC 60228 Class 2.
  • Insulation: PE compound as per EN 50290. 2-23.
  • Pairs: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
  • 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
  • Inner Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound as per EN 50290-2-22.
  • Amouring: Galvanized steel wire armour
  • 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 – +70°C
  • Temperature Range During Installation (Mobile State): -20°C – +50°C
  • Minimum Bending Radius: 10 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)
