BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-OS-SWA-LSOH
Applications
The armoured fire resistant versions (Part 1 Type 2) are typically used in chemical and process industries where there is danger of fire. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection.

Annealed or tinned 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 |
