XLPE Insulated, LSZH Sheathed & Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation
Cables (Multipair)
RE-2X(St)HSWAH
APPLICATION
The armoured LSZH sheathed (Part 1 Type 2) cables are generally used when the risk of mechanicaldamage is increased. The galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally, the
cables are 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 LSZH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume emission.
