XLPE Insulated, LSZH Sheathed Instrumentation Cables
EN 50288-7 Cables RE-2X(St)H 90°C / 300 V

APPLICATION:

EN 50228-7 cables are used for transmission of analoge and digital signals in instrument and control systems at

chemistryand petrochemistry industry plants, power plants, natural gas and petroluem plants, etc...EN 50228-7

cables are used in the environments which have no corrosive gases are emitted in the event of fire. In case of

fire, EN 50228-7 cables inhibit the propagation of the flames whereby the development of smoke is extremely

low. EN 50228-7 Instrumentation cables are not allowed for direct connection to a low impedance sources, e.g.

public mains electricity supply. With blue sheath it is suitable for intrinsically safe systems. These cables are not

recommended for direct burial. EN 50228-7 cables are for indoor and outdoor installation, in dry and wet

locations; on racks, trays, in conduits.
