BS5308 Cable Part 2 Type 2 PVC-OS-SWA-PVC

 

Applications :

  • The armoured versions (Part 2 Type 2) are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection. 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. The armored versions are generally use for outdoor installation for direct burial or installed in the duct and suitable for wet and damp areas.

Construction :

  • Conductor Annealed or tinned copper, sizes: 0.5mm² and 0.75mm² mulitistranded(Class 5), 1.5mm² multistranded(Class 2) to BS6360
    Insulation PVC (polyvinyl chloride), type TI1 to BS 6746
    Pairing Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
    Colour code Multicore cables: up to 40 cores yellow with black numbers, 41 - 80 cores black with yellow numbers. Multipair cables: See technical information
