The cables are designed for RS485 data connections where continued functionality is required during a fire situation. This cable combines low capacitance insulation with one of the highest levels of screening to provide high speed, interference free, data transmission where continued functionality is required during a fire situation.
Basic design adapted to EIA/TIA 485
Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test) : BS EN 60332-1-2
Conductors: Tinned copper wire, stranded according to IEC 60228 class 2 or class5.
Insulation: Foam PE or foam skin PE.
Cabling Elements: Insulated cores are twisted to form pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk.
Two pair cable had four cores laid in quad formation.
Cabling: Pairs are cabled together in concentric layers.
Overall Screen: Aluminum/polyester tape with tinned copper drain wire.
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound.
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.
