BS5308 Part 1 / Type 1 (unarmoured cables)
BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type1 MG-XLPE-OS-LSOH
Application
The unarmoured fire resistant versions (Part 1 Type 1) are typically used in chemical and process industries where there is danger of fire.
Construction

| Conductor | Annealed copper, Class 2 |
|---|---|
| Insulation | Mica glass tape, XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene), or PE (optional) |
| Pairing | Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm |
| Colour code | See technical information |
| Binder tape | PETP transparent tape |
| Collective screen | Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm² |
| Outer sheath | LSOH(Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath Flame retardant to IEC60332-3-22 Fire resistant to IEC60331 Halogen free to IEC60754-1 Low smoke emission to IEC61034-1-2 |
| Sheath colour | Black or blue |
