FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables 

Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

Flame Retardant Individual and Overall Screened Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)

RE-2X(St)Y PiMF

Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

APPLICATION
The unarmoured PVC versions (Part 1 Type 1) are generally use for indoor installation and
suitable for wet and damp areas. Generally used within industrial process manufacturing plants for
communication, data and voice transmission signals and services.

STANDARDS
Basic design adapted to BS 5308 Part1 Type 1

Note: Asterisk ** denotes that the standard compliance is optional, depending on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the cable design.

VOLTAGE RATING
300/500V

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductor: Annealed or tinned copper, sizes: 0.5mm² and 0.75mm² mulitistranded(Class 5), 0.5
mm², 1.0 mm² solid(Class 1), 1.5mm² or 2.5mm², multistranded(Class 2) to BS6360
Insulation: XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene), or PE (optional)
Pairs: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
Individual Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over each pair metallic side down in contact
with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm²
Binder tape: PETP transparent tape
Overall 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: Thermoplastic PVC compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance,
anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance
standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the
PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
