BS 5308 part 1 type 2 cables incorporate a SWA style armour for use in aggressive process control and instrumentation applications where mechanical damage is a danger. Like the unarmoured versions, they are available with collective aluminium tape (CAT) screening or individual and collective aluminium tape (ICAT) screens.

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.
0.6/1kV versions can be manufactured to order.RP-PVC is a reduced propagation version of PVC producing no more than 15% HCl emissions if burnt. It is not Low Smoke Halogen Free.
Capacitance figures are mutual @ 1kHz.Larger pair counts and triple configurations are available on request.
