XLPE Insulated, LSZH Sheathed & Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Single Pair)
RE-2X(St)HSWAH 90°C / 300V

EN 50288-7 Instrumentation Cables

STANDARDS
Basic design to EN 50288-7

APPLICATION 
The armoured LSZH sheathed cables are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The
galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally, the cables are used within industrial rocess
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.
