EN 50288-7 Cables

XLPE Insulated, LS ZH Sheathed & Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2X(St)HSWAH 90°C / 300V

EN 50288-7 Cable

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 process 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.
