Fire Resistant Individual and Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2X(st)HSWAH PiMF...CI

APPLICATION

The armoured LSZH sheathed cables are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally, the cables are 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, the LSZH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume emission.
