Product Information

Specification

About:

• Purpose: Designed for transmitting signals, control, and communication functions, especially in environments where fire safety and emission of smoke and toxic fumes are a concern.

Also Known As:

• Instrumentation Cable
• Armoured Control Cable
• LSZH Instrumentation Cable

Application:

• These cables are designed to connect electrical instrument circuits and provide communication services in and around process plants (e.g. petrochemical industry etc.). Especially for use in areas where fire would create dense smoke and toxic fumes causing a major threat to life and equipment. Suitable for direct buried applications.

Construction:

• Generally in accordance with BS 5308 Part 1.
• Conductor: Stranded (Class 2) or flexible (Class 5) copper conductors to BS EN 60228.
• Insulation: Polythene insulation Type 03 to BS6234.
• Binder Tape: p.e.t.p. tape 50% overlap.
• Collective Screen: Tinned Copper drain wire(s) under and in contact with aluminum/p.e.t.p. laminated tape applied metallic side down.
• LSF inner sheath to BS6724.
• Mild galvanised steel wires to BS EN10257-1.
• Outer Sheath: : : Black LSF outer sheath to BS6724.
• Flame retardant to BS EN 60332-3-24 & IEC60332-3-24 Category C (NMV1.5).
• Temperature Rating: 65°C maximum conductor operating temperature.
• Voltage Rating: 300/500V.

Standards:

• Typically manufactured to comply with international standards such as IEC, BS (British Standard), or specific industry standards depending on the region and application.

Features:

• Fire Performance: LSZH sheath enhances safety by reducing smoke and corrosive gas emission during combustion.
• EMI Protection: Foil shielding guards against external electrical noise, ensuring clear signal transmission.
• Mechanical Protection: Armoured design provides additional protection against physical damage.
• Versatility: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including areas with moisture exposure.
