BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-LSOH
Application
The armoured fire resistant versions (Part 1Type 2) are typically used in chemical and process industries where there is danger of fire. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection.
Construction
Conductor |
Annealed copper, Class 2 |
Insulation |
Mica glass tape, XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene), or PE (optional) |
Pairing |
Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm |
Colour code |
See technical information |
Individual screen |
Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over each pair metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm² |
Binder tape |
PETP transparent tape |
Collective screen |
Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm² |
