Fire Resistant Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multicore)

RE-2X(St)HSWAH...CI

APPLICATION

The armoured LSZH sheathed cables are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The

galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally, the cables are used within industrial

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

the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, the LSZH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume

emission.
