LSZH Flame Retardant Individual and Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2X(St)HSWAH PiMF

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.

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 LSZH compound.
Amouring: Galvanized steel wire armour.
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound according to EN 50290-2-22.
Outer Sheath Option: Thermoplastic LSZH compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti-rodent and anti-termite properties can be offered as option.

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.
