BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type1 XLPE-IS-OS-LSOH

 

Applications :

  • The unarmoured LSOH versions (Part 1 Type 1) are generally use for indoor installation and suitable for wet and damp areas. Generally used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services, Also used for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, the LSOH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume emission.

Construction :

  • Conductor Annealed or tinned copper, sizes: 0.5mm² and 0.75mm² mulitistranded(Class 5),0.5 mm², 1.0 mm² solid(Class 1), 1.5mm² or 2.5mm², multistranded(Class 2) to BS6360
    Insulation XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene), or PE (optional)
    Pairing Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
    Colour code See technical information
