Construction
  • Conductors : Circular tinned stranded copper wire to IEC 60228 class 2.
  • Insulation : Mica tape + Halogen free EPR compound.
  • Twinning : Colour coded cores twisted together.
  • Collective Shielding : Pairs/triples are layed up and collectively screened by copper backed polyester tape in contact with a stranded tinned copper drain wire. Pairs/triples are numbered with numbered tape or by numbers printed directly on the insulated conductors.
  • Bedding : Halogen free compound.
  • Armour : Tinned copper wire braid.
  • Outer Sheath1 : Halogen free thermosetting compound, SHF2.
  • HC-fire protection : Extruded thermoplastic fire protection compound.
  • Taping : Lapped glass fibre tape.
  • Outer Sheath2 : Flame retardant halogen-free thermoplastic compound, type SHF1, coloured grey (blue for intrinsically safe).
