APPLICATION
The unarmoured PVC versions (Part 1 Type 1) are generally use for indoor installation and suitable for wet and
damp areas. Generally used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice
transmission signals and services.
STANDARDS
Basic design adapted to BS 5308 Part1 Type 1

compound and the cable design.
VOLTAGE RATING
300/500V
CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductor: Annealed or tinned copper, sizes: 0.5mm² and 0.75mm² mulitistranded(Class 5), 0.5 mm², 1.0 mm²
solid(Class 1), 1.5mm² or 2.5mm², multistranded(Class 2) to BS6360
Insulation: XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene), or PE (optional)
Pairs: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
Binder tape: PETP transparent tape
Overall Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with
tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm²
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound. 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.
