Fire Resistant Copper Braid Screened Instrumentation Cables (Multicore)
RE-2X(C)H...CI
APPLICATION
Fire Resistant Copper Braid Screened Instrumentation Cables (Multicore) are generally used for indoor
installation and suitable for wet and damp areas. Generally, the cables are used within industrial process
manufacturing plants for communication, dataand voice transmission signals and services. Also used for the
interconnection of electrical equipment andinstruments, the LSZH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume
emission.
