Cable construction
Conductors

Plain annealed electrolytic copper wire according to EN 60228 class 1(U) solid, class 2 (R) stranded, class 5 (F) flexible.

Insulation

PVC, PE, XLPE or LSZH thermoplastic material.

Twisting

The insulated cores shall be twisted in pairs for a good reduction of the electromagnetic noise.

Individual screen

Aluminium/polyester tape, coverage >100%, aluminium in contact with tinned copper drain wire.

Cabling

The screened pairs are cabled with suitable non hygroscopic fillers (when necessary) and wrapped with polyester tape if required.

Overall screen

Aluminium/polyester tape, coverage >100%, aluminium in contact with tinned copper drain wire.

Inner sheath

PE, PVC or LSZH thermoplastic material.

Armour

Single layer of galvanized steel wires (SWA).

Outer sheath

PVC or LSZH thermoplastic material.

Available on request

Tinned conductors. Single triad or multitriads. Galvanized steel wire braid (GSWB) or galvanized steel tape armour (GSTA). Different insulation and sheath colours. Sheath materials can be provided for excellent water, oil, hydrocarbons, UV resistance or other special performance.
