PAS 5308 Cable Part 1 Type 1 PE-OS-PVC

Applications

PAS 5308 Cable Part 1 Type 1 PE-OS-PVC are designed to connect electrical instrumentation and communication systems in and around process plants and similar applications. Generally used to transmit analogue or digital signals in measurement and process control where chemicals may be present.

Construction

PAS 5308 Cable Part 1 Type 1 PE-OS-PVC
Conductor Annealed copper, sizes: 0.5mm2 mulitistranded(Class 5), 0.5 mm2 and 1.0 mm2 solid(Class 1), 1.5mm2 or 2.5 multistranded(Class 2) to BS EN 60228
Insulation Thermoplastic PE to BS EN 50290?2?23:2002, grade L/MD or a cross?linked PE to BS EN 50290-2-29
Pairing Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm, Two-pair cables without individual pair screens (quads) shall have four cores laid in quad formation round a central dummy
Colour code See technical information
Binder tape Non-hygroscopic binder tape of minimum thickness 0.023 mm
Collective screen Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm2
Outer sheath Extruded sheath of a PVC compound conforming to BS EN 50290-2-22:2002, grade TM51
Sheath colour Generally black
