FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables


Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

Flame Retardant Individual and Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2X(St)YSWAY PiMF

APPLICATION

The armoured XLPE versions are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The

galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally used within industrial process

manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services.

STANDARDS

Basic design to BS EN 50288-7 (formerly BS 5308)

RE-2X(St)YSWAY PiMF

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.

Pairs : Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm (≤1.5mm²) or

150mm (for 2.5mm²).

Individual Screen : Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs with metallic side down in contact

with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm².

Binder Tape : PETP transparent tape.

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.

Inner Sheath : Thermoplastic PVC compound according to EN 50290-2-22.

Amouring : Galvanized steel wire armour.

Outer Sheath : Thermoplastic PVC compound according to EN 50290-2-22.

Outer Sheath Option : 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.

COLOUR CODE

Insulation Colour : Colours and/or additional ring markings and/or symbols achieved by the use of coloured

insulation or by a coloured surface using extrusion, printing or painting.

Outer Sheath : Black. Other colours can be offered upon request.
