APPLICATION

The 300/500V Mica+XLPE/SR Insulated & Overall Screened Multipair Instrumentation Cables are designed, manufactured and tested as data transmission cables for emergency services. These are used for data and voice transmission when high frequency signal has to be assured also in the event of a fire.

STANDARDS

Basic design to BS 5308/BS 7629-1

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Conductor: Plain annealed copper wire, stranded according to IEC(EN) 60228 class 2.
Insulation: Mica glass tape covered by extruded cross-linked XLPE compound or fire resistant silicone rubber compound type EI2 as per BS 7655-1.1.
Cabling Elements: Insulated cores are twisted to form pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk. Two-pair cable had four cores laid in quad formation.
Cabling: Pairs are cabled together.In cables with 8 pairs or more, 4 pairs are assembled to form a bunch, the bunches are then cabled together.
Overall Screen: Aluminum/polyester tape with 0.5mm2 screen (7/0.3mm) tinned copper drain wire.
Inner Sheath(optional):Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1
Armouring(optional): Galvanized steel wire armour
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1(Thermosetting LSZH compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.)
