Armoured Instrumentation Cable XLPE-OS-SWA-PVC BS 5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 Application:

The BS 5308 Part 1 Type 2 instrument cables with 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 petrochemical 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.
