FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables

Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

Flame Retardant Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2X(St)YSWAY

APPLICATION

The armoured PVC versions (Part 1 Type 2) 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.

Note: Asterisk ** denotes that the standard compliance is optional, depending on the oxygen index of the PVC 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 100mmBinder 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

Inner Sheath: PVC compound

Amouring: Galvanized steel wire armour

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.
