XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed & Overall Screened

RE-2X(St)H 90°C/300V

EN 50288-7 Cables

APPLICATION:

For transmission of analogue and digital signals in instrument and control systems; allowed for use  in zone 1 and zone 2, group II, classified areas (IEC 79-14), not allowed for direct connection to low  impedance sources, e.g. public mains electricity supply. Recommended for indoor and outerdoor installation, on racks, trays, in conduits, in dry and wet  locations; not for direct buiral.
Recommended for use as fire protection messure for people and important material assets.
