450/750V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Screened Controlling Cables (2 core)

RE-Y(St)Y (CU/PVC/OS/PVC 450/750V Class 5)

APPLICATION
The unarmoured versions (Part 2 Type 1) are generally use for indoor installation and suitable for wet
and damp areas. Generally 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, typically in chemical or petrolchemical industry.
