BS 5308 Part 2 Type 2 RP-PVC - Collective screened

Application

Originally developed for communications and signalling within the process control industry this cable is now widely used in other industrial applications. The screening offers excellent protection from electro magnetic interference. These cables are armoured making them ideal for fixed installation when there is risk of mechanical damage.
   

Construction

Plain annealed copper wire conductors to BS 6360, class 1, 2 or 5, PVC insulation, laid up as cores, twisted into pairs or triples depending on the type required, overall foil screen and drain wire, PE bedding, galvanised steel wire armour, RP-PVC sheath - Black or blue.

Conductor identification

Cores 1 - 40 yellow with black numbers, 41 - 80 black with yellow numbers
Pairs are colour coded in accordance with BS5308 part 2, click here to view
(Alternative colour codes are also available)
Triples are produced in a variety of combinations, please check when ordering.
