RE-2XSt)HSWAH 70°C / 300 V

APPLICATION

EN 50288-7 armoured LSZH sheathed cables are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is

increased. The galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally,EN 50288-7 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.

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Conductor: Annealed copper solid or plain copper stranded to IEC 60228 Class 2.

Insulation: Extruded cross-linked XLPE compound, EN 50290. 2-29.

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

Inner Sheath: LSZH compound

Amouring: Galvanized steel wire armour

Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH compound

type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.). UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti

rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option.

COLOUR CODE

Insulation: Black / White, continuously numbered on white core(1, 2..)for multipair.
