APPLICATION

For indoor industrial instrument and equipment interconnections, including damp locations. This unarmoured multicore design combines XLPE insulated copper conductors, an overall foil screen and a PVC outer sheath. Select the 300V or 500V construction to suit the signal circuit.

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

300V, 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.

Overall Screen : Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up cores with metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm². Copper braid screen or aluminium/polyester tape combination with copper braid screen can be offered as option.

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How are the cores screened?

One aluminium/polyester foil screen encloses the laid-up cores and contacts a 0.5 mm² tinned copper drain wire.

Which voltage versions are available?

300V and 500V versions have separate electrical and dimensional tables.

What are the standard insulation and sheath materials?

The standard construction uses XLPE insulation and a thermoplastic PVC outer sheath.

What does the armoured alternative add?

The related SWA construction adds an inner sheath and galvanised steel wire armour for mechanical protection.

What is the minimum bending radius?

The listed minimum is 7.5 times the overall cable diameter.
