Designed for use in harsh environments within the process control and refinery industries, BS 5308 cables incorporate GSWA armour for mechanical protection. The screening options ensure that interference and crosstalk is prevented when installed in an electrostatic noisy application. They can be used for indoor, outdoor and direct burial applications.

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.
