Normes des câbles d'instrumentation

Among the main national standards according to which we manufacture our instrumentation cables, we find :

British

Part BS5308 cables 1 and part 2, cables not5308

Harmonized Europeans

Cables in 50288-7

French

Cables NF M87-202

North American

UL cables 13, UL 2250, UL 1277


The standards mentioned cover a multitude of variants of armored instrumentation cables, including collective armor cables (CAM) and those with individual and collective armor (ICAM). These can be isolated in polyethylene (PE), Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicone (And). They usually have an outdoor PVC or LSZH sheath (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) For areas where the emission of smoke and acid gas could be a serious problem in the event of a fire. Our cables, Including the BS5308 Instrumentation Cables 2, are also available with armor in steel wire or steel strip, thus offering protection against mechanical constraints.
