British Standard Fire resistant Shipwiring cables to BS 7917

Armoured 250V Instrumentation

Armoured 250V Instrumentation

Manufactured in both pairs and triples these 150/250V fire resistant instrumentation cables provide collective or individual screening through the use of metallic foils and drain wires. Offering good flexibility for installation in confined spaces or where difficult routing is necessary, the galvanised steel wire braid provides mechanical protection. Using Mica tapes and SW4 Low Smoke Halogen Free compounds, circuit integrity and low smoke emissions are achieved to maintain emergency circuits and smoke free exit routes.

Core Identification

Pairs : Each pair black, white and numbered
Triples : Each triple black, white, red and numbered
(Alternative colour codes are available)
