RFOU Instrumentation IEC60092-376

These new reduced outer diameter versions of RFOU allow cable routing through more confined spaces and offer considerable weight savings over the traditional IEC60092-3 type.

Designed for use in petrochem and offshore instrumentation applications RFOU is available in collectively or individually screened options for optimum EMI suppression.

The Low Smoke Halogen Free materials offer improved flame retardance to IEC60332-3A.

   
This makes RFOU the ideal choice for safe areas and where personnel or equipment may be at risk from smoke damage in the event of a fire.

Cable Construction

Tinned stranded copper conductor, EPR insulation, overall screen of copper backed polyester tape with a stranded copper drain wire 0.75mm², inner sheath of Halogen Free thermoplastic elastomer, tinned copper wire braid and an outer sheath of Halogen Free thermoset elastomer.

The individually screened version has a copper backed polyester tape with a stranded copper drain wire 0.75mm² around each pair or triple.

At FSC we refer to LSHF as Low Smoke Halogen Free

This term is interchangeable with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke) and FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive). Beware of the terms LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) or RP (Reduced Propogation), when relating to signal or control cables will normally be modified PVC and produce 'Loads of Smoke and Fume'!

Fire retardant, fire resistant, flame resistant or flame retardant?

These terms are often misunderstood. Most cables when exposed to fire will not carry on functioning. If you require cable to continue working in the event of fire, and in accordance with various standards please call us.
