INSTRUMENT CABLE


Instrumentation Cable are single or multi-pair/triple cables designed to carry signals.


Applications

These single pair or triad instrumentation cables are constructed with heat and moisture resistant cross- linked polyethylene (XLPE) with an abrasion, oil, chemical and flame-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) or low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH/XLPO) jacket for use in utility substa- tion or power generation facilities.

They are recomended for indoor or outdoor applica- tions in conduit, duct, cable tray or aerial installations and NEC-compliant for continuous operation at 90°C in wet and dry locations.

Features

1.CONDUCTORS

Class B, soft drawn, bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8.

2.INSULATION

Heat and moisture resistant, cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) meeting the requirements of NEMA WC57/ICEA S-73-532 and UL 66 & 1277. The insulation is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at a conductor temper- ature not exceeding 90°C for normal operation.

3.CIRCUIT IDENTIfICATION

One black and one white insulated single conductor in each pair with printed pair numbers (black/white/red for triads).

4.PAIR ASSEMBLY

Two insulated conductors twisted with a stranded tinned copper drain wire per ASTM B33 and wrapped with an aluminum foil/mylar shield and an isolation tape.

5.CABLING

Required number of pairs are cabled with non- hygroscopic fillers where necessary to form a round compact core.

6.OVERALL SHIELD/DRAIN WIRE

Helically applied aluminum foil/mylar tape. The drain is a stranded soft-drawn tinned copper per ASTM B33. Optional constructions include:

Corrugated longitudinally-applied .005 or .008 copper shielding

flat helically-applied .005 or .010 copper

Longitunidally-applied copper or aluminum copolymer-bonded shield

Copper braid (specify percentage of coverage for optimum EMI protection)

7.JACKET

Abrasion, oil and chemical resistant and highly flame retardant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated poly- ethylene (CPE) or low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH/ XLPO) jacket to meet UL Standard 1277.
