Introduction to BS 5308 Part 2 Type 1 PVC/OS/PVC Cable
I. Overview
The BS 5308 Part 2 Type 1 PVC/OS/PVC Cable is a vital component in the realm of communication and control signal transmission. Engineered to meet specific requirements, it offers reliable performance in a variety of installation scenarios, especially those that are indoors and do not demand high levels of mechanical protection.
II. Application
Signal Transmission
This cable is designed to carry a diverse range of signals, including analogue, data, and voice signals. These signals can originate from various transducers such as pressure sensors, proximity detectors, and microphones. This versatility makes it suitable for numerous communication and control systems, enabling seamless information transfer in different technological setups.
Indoor Use and Non - mechanically Demanding Environments
Part 2 Type 1 cables are predominantly intended for indoor applications. This includes use in office buildings, homes, and other indoor spaces where the cable is not exposed to harsh mechanical forces. It is also suitable for environments where mechanical protection is not a necessity, such as in relatively protected indoor areas where the risk of physical damage is low. In the petrochemical industry, it can be used in indoor control rooms or office areas for communication and control signal transfer.
III. Characteristics
Rated Voltage
With a rated voltage of Uo/U: 300/500V, the cable is well - suited for many common electrical applications related to communication and control. This voltage range provides a stable power supply for the signals it transports, ensuring the proper functioning of connected devices.
Rated Temperature
The cable has a rated temperature range that varies depending on its state. In fixed installations, it can operate within the temperature range of - 40°C to +80°C, while for flexed conditions, the range is from 0°C to +50°C. This wide temperature tolerance allows it to be used in different indoor climates, from cold storage areas to warm server rooms.
Minimum Bending Radius
The minimum bending radius of 6D is an important characteristic. This relatively small bending radius means that the cable can be bent more tightly during installation without causing damage to its internal structure. This is beneficial for routing the cable around corners or through tight spaces in indoor installations.
IV. Construction
Conductor
For cross - sectional areas between 0.5mm² - 0.75mm², the cable utilizes Class 5 flexible copper conductors. These conductors offer high flexibility, which is advantageous for applications where the cable may need to be bent or adjusted within indoor spaces. For areas of 1mm² and above, Class 2 stranded copper conductors are used. They provide good conductivity and mechanical strength, ensuring efficient signal transmission.
Insulation
The PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation is used in this cable. PVC is a cost - effective and widely - used material for cable insulation. It provides good electrical insulation properties, preventing electrical leakage and ensuring that the signals are transmitted without interference.
Screening
The overall screen made of Al/PET (Aluminium/Polyester Tape) offers protection against electromagnetic interference. In indoor environments, there may still be sources of electromagnetic noise, such as electrical equipment or wiring. This screening helps to maintain the integrity of the transmitted signals, ensuring that analogue, data, or voice signals are transmitted accurately.
Drain Wire
The tinned copper drain wire serves to dissipate any electrostatic charges that may build up on the cable. This helps in enhancing the safety and performance of the cable by preventing static - related issues.
Sheath
The outer sheath of the cable is made of PVC. This provides an additional layer of protection to the internal components of the cable. The sheath colour of blue - black not only gives the cable a distinct appearance but also aids in easy identification during installation.
