BS 5308 Part 1 Type 2 Armoured LSHF Instrumentation

These cables are ideal for use in industrial and commercial applications where smoke/toxic gas release is a problem in the event of a fire and mechanical damage is a threat. Although they were originally conceived for industrial instrumentation applications BS 5308 cables are now used within a wide variety of industries including commercial building management control.

BS 5308 cables are available with collective aluminium tape (CAT) screening or individual and collective aluminium tape (ICAT) screens to ensure correct signal transmission in noisy electrical environments.
