Originally developed for communications and signalling within the process control industry BS 5308 part 2 cables are now widely used in other industrial applications. The screening combination offers excellent protection from electromagnetic interference. These cables are suitable for fixed installation when there is no risk of mechanical damage.

CAT: Cables up to 50 pair are colour coded in accordance with BS 5308 pt 2, appendix A. Two pair cables are twisted as a quad and coloured blue, green, orange, brown.ICAT: Each pair white, blue and numbered.
0.6/1kV versions can be made 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.
