PAS/BS 5308 CAM Part 1 Type 2 MGT Instrumentation Cable

Download Data Sheet

Our 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.

Equipped with Mica glass tape, our cables provide enhanced fire protection, making them ideal for applications where fire safety is paramount.

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.

Additionally, the next lot of cables feature Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheathing, ensuring safety and minimal environmental impact in case of fire.

Type 2 armoured cables are suitable for direct burial installations.
