BS 5308 Part 1 Type 1 Unarmoured PVC Instrumentation

Cables

Originally developed for process control and communications within the petrochemical industry, BS 5308 is now widely used in other industrial and commercial applications. Available with collective aluminium tape (CAT) screening or individual and collective aluminium tape (ICAT) screens to prevent electrical interference and crosstalk. These cables are suitable for fixed installation where risk of mechanical damage is minimal.

Construction

Type: CAT – Collective Aluminium Tape Screen

Plain annealed copper wire conductors to IEC 60228, class 1, 2 or 5, PE insulation, laid up as cores or twisted into pairs or triples, overall aluminium/polyester foil screen and 0.5mm² tinned copper drain wire, RP-PVC sheath – black or blue.

Type: ICAT – Individual & Collective Aluminium Tape Screen

Plain annealed copper wire conductors to IEC 60228, class 1, 2 or 5, PE insulation, cores twisted into pairs or triples, each pair aluminium/polyester foil screen and 0.5mm² tinned copper drain wire, units laid up, collective aluminium/polyester foil screen and 0.5mm² tinned copper drain wire, RP-PVC sheath – black or blue.

Pair Identification:

CAT: Cables up to 50 pair are colour coded in accordance with BS 5308 pt 1, appendix A. Two pair cables are twisted as a quad and coloured black, blue, green, brown.

ICAT: Each pair black, blue and numbered.
