Instrumentation Cable Multi Pairs IS/OS – Individual & Overall Shielded Alu Foil RE-2X(ST)Y-Pimf 8x2x1.0mm² 300V, Conductor: Plain Annealed Copper Stranded, Insulation: XLPE Compound, Shield: Individual and Overall Shielded AL-PET with Tinned Copper Drain Wire, Sheath: PVC Compound Black, Foil Screen Cable
This high-performance instrumentation cable features 8 twisted pairs of 1.0mm² conductors in an IS/OS (Individual Shield / Overall Shield) configuration, specifically engineered for precise signal transmission in industrial measurement and control applications requiring superior noise rejection.
The plain annealed copper stranded conductors provide excellent flexibility and conductivity for reliable instrumentation signals. XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation delivers outstanding electrical properties, including low capacitance and high insulation resistance, essential for accurate analog signal transmission over extended distances.
The dual shielding system provides comprehensive EMI protection: individual AL-PET (Aluminium/Polyester) foil screens with tinned copper drain wires on each pair eliminate crosstalk between adjacent signal pairs, while an overall AL-PET foil screen with drain wire protects against external electromagnetic interference. The black PVC sheath offers durability, flexibility, and resistance to industrial environments.
Rated at 300V, this RE-2X(ST)Y-Pimf cable is ideal for distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and process instrumentation requiring multiple shielded signal pairs in a single cable assembly.
