BS 5308 Cables
BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2
MG-XLPE-OS-SWA-LSOH
Application
BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-OS-SWA-LSOH are typically used in chemical and process industries where
there is danger of fire. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection.
Construction 
Conductor :Annealed copper, Class 2
Insulation :Mica glass tape, XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene), or PE (optional)
Pairing:Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
Colour code:See technical information
Binder tape:PETP transparent tape
Collective screen :Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with
tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm²
Inner Sheath:LSOH(Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath
Amour :Galvanized steel wire armour
Outer sheath:LSOH(Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath Flame retardant to IEC60332-3-22 Fire resistant to
IEC60331 Halogen free to IEC60754-1 Low smoke emission to IEC61034-1-2
Sheath colour :Black or blue
Mechanical and Electrical Properties
Operating temperature: -20˚C up to + 90˚C( fixed installation)
0˚C to +50˚C(during operation )
Minimum bending radius: 6 x overall diameter
