Armoured Instrumentation Cable XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-PVC BS 5308 Cable Part 1 Type 1

The Armoured Instrumentation Cable XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-PVC BS 5308 Part 1 Type 1 is a high-quality, durable cable designed for industrial instrumentation and control systems. It features cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation for excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance, an oil-resistant (IS) layer for added protection against oils and hydrocarbons, steel wire armoring (SWA) for mechanical robustness, and a PVC outer sheath for environmental and moisture protection. Compliant with BS 5308 Part 1 Type 1 standards, this cable ensures reliable signal transmission and durability in demanding industrial environments.

Armoured Instrumentation Cable XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-PVC BS 5308 Cable Part 1 Type 1 Application:

The BS 5308 Part 1 Type 2 Cables with individually and collectively screen and steel wire armouring are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The galvanized steel wire armouring provides excellent protection. Generally used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services, Also used for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, typically in chemical or petrol-chemical industry. The armored versions are generally use for outdoor installation for direct burial or installed in the duct and suitable for wet and damp areas.
