FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables


Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

Flame Retardant Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multicore)

RE-2X(St)YSWAY

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

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.

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

opper braid screen can be offered as option.

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

Armouring : Galvanised steel wire.

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

Outer Sheath Option : 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.

PHYSICAL AND THERMAL PROPERTIES

Temperature range during operation : -30°C - +90°C

Temperature range fixed installation : -5°C - +50°C

Maximum short circuit temperature (5 Seconds) : 250°C

Minimum bending radius : 10 x Overall Diameter
