Flame Retardant Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2X(St)YSWAY

APPLICATION

The armoured XLPE versions are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services.

STANDARDS

• Basic design to BS EN 50288-7 (formerly BS 5308)

FIRE PERFORMANCE

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)

BS EN 60332-1-2

VOLTAGE RATING

300,500V

Cable Construction

Conductor: Plain or metal coated copper wire, solid, stranded or flexible according to IEC 60228 class 1, 2 and 5.
Insulation: Extruded XLPE compound according to EN 50290-2-29. PVC, PE, PP compound can be offered as options.
Pairs: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm (≤1.5mm2) or 150mm (for 2.5mm2).
Binder Tape: PETP transparent tape.
Overall Screen:Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs with metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm².
Inner Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound according to EN 50290-2-22.
Amouring: Galvanized steel wire armour.
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound according to EN 50290-2-22.
Outer Sheath Option: 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 Colour: Colours and/or additional ring markings and/or symbols achieved by the use of coloured
insulation or by a coloured surface using extrusion, printing or painting.
Outer Sheath: Black. Other colours can be offered upon request.
