Instrument cable

Description

• Conductor: Annealed or tinned copper, sizes: 0.5mm² and 0.75mm² multi-stranded(Class 5), 0.5 mm², 1.0 mm² solid(Class 1), 1.5mm² or 2.5mm², multi-stranded(Class 2) to BS6360 cable standard
• Insulation: Polyethylene insulation,XLPE, Silicone,TPE etc
• Pairing: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
• Binder tape: Polyester tape
• Collective screen: Aluminum/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm²
• Armor: Steel wire armor or steel tape armor
• Outer sheath: PVC Sheath LSZH
• Sheath color: Black or as customer required
• Operating temperature: -40˚C up to + 70˚C (fixed installation), 0˚C to +50˚C (during operation)
• Minimum bending radius: 5 x OD
• Cable types: cu/PE/IS/OS/PE/SWA/PVC  CU/XLPE/IS/OS/PVC

Application

The unarmored versions (Part 1 Type 1) are generally use for indoor installation and suitable for wet and damp areas. Generally used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services. Also used for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, typically in petroleum industry.
