Instrumentation cables, manufactured to PAS5308 standards, ensure safety and reliability for communication and instrumentation applications in process industries, transmitting analogue or digital signals from various sensors and transducers. These cables, featuring steel wire armour (SWA), provide exceptional protection in aggressive environments.
Designed for indoor and outdoor installations in industrial process plants and for data and voice transmission services, they are also used to interconnect electrical equipment and instruments, particularly in process plants. These cables are widely utilized throughout the petroleum industry.
Type 2 armoured cables are suitable for direct burial installations.
