First
Instrumentation Cables; BS5308 These cables are for instrumentation applications. Designed for on-shore use, they are made with PVC or Polyethylene insulations, and PVC outer sheaths. They are available with or without a galvanized steel wire armor for protection in harsh environments. For Zone 1 and 2 applications, per EN 60079-14, these cables must meet the flame retardance specifications of IEC60332. For data sheets click here. BS 6883 These cables are for instrumentation, control, and power applications. Designed for rugged use, they are typically made with EPR insulation, SW4 outer sheath, and with or without a galvanized steel wire braid for harsh environments. For Zone 1 and 2 applications, per EN 60079-14, these cables must meet the flame retardance specification of IEC60332. For data sheets click here. BS7917 These cables are very similar to BS6883 but also meet the IEC60331 fire resistant specification. Each conductor is insulated with MICA glass tape and are used where circuit integrity is critical. For data sheets click here. NEK 606 RFOU (i) 250V These instrument cables are considered world class cables. The are flame retardant to IEC-60332-3-22. Designed for rugged off-shore applications, they have a EPR insulation, flame retardant halogen-free thermoset compound bedding, a tinned copper wire braid and flame retardant halogen-free and mud resistant thermoset compound. For data sheets click here. BFOU (i) 250V These cables are the same as RFOU except they also meet the fire resistant specification of IEC-60331. For data sheets click here. Power and Control Cables BS 6883 These cables are for instrumentation, control, and power applications. Designed for rugged use, they are typically made with EPR insulation, SW4 outer sheath, and with or without a galvanized steel wire braid for harsh environments. For Zone 1 and 2 applications, per EN 60079-14, these cables must meet the flame retardance specification of IEC60332. For data sheets click here. BS5467 These cables are for power and control applications. Designed for on-shore use, they are made with PVC or XLPE insulations, and either PVC or EPR outer sheaths. They are available with or without a galvanized steel wire armor for protection in harsh environments. For Zone 1 and 2 applications, per EN 60079-14, these cables must meet the flame retardance specifications of IEC60332. For data sheets click here. BS6724 These cables are are very similar to BS5467 cables but are zero halogen. Designed for on-shore use, they are made with LSF inner sheath, Type LTS1 to BS7655 and black LSF outer sheath Type LTS1 to BS7655. They are available with or without a galvanized steel wire armor for protection in harsh environments. For Zone 1 and 2 applications, per EN 60079-14, these cables must meet the flame retardance specifications of IEC60332. For data sheets click here. NEK 606 RFOU 0.6/1kV These power and control cables are halogen-free and mud resistant. They are fire retardant to IEC 60332, have an EPR insulation and a tinned copper wire braid. For data sheets click here. BFOU 0.6/1kV These cable are the same as the RFOU but also meet the fire resistant specification of IEC 60331. For data sheets click here.

Cables for use in Class I, Division 1 and 2, Zone 1 and 2 Locations

Class I, Division 1 or Zone 1 Type MC-HL These cable are for power, control and instrumentation. Designed for rugged use, they are typically made with XLPE or PVC insulations, a continuous aluminum armor and a PVC outer sheath. For use in Division 1 and 2 locations, these cable must be third party certified and marked "MC-HL". For data sheets click here. Type ITC-HL These instrument cables are almost identical to the MC-HL instrument cables except the are rated 300 volts. For data sheets click here. Type MI cable MI cable typically has a copper sheath and conductors with a magnesium oxide insulation. The cable is provided with it's own cable gland and terminating system. The insulation of these cables are very hydroscopic and termination of the glands is extremely important to keep moisture out. Ex Industries does not sell these cables and we do not provide data sheets. Class I, Division 2 or Zone 2 All cables allowed for use in Class 1, Division 1 or Zone 1 locations Type PLTC cables These cables are very similar to ITC-HL cable but are only listed for Class I, Division 2 applications. For data sheets click here. Type ITC cables These cables are very similar to ITC-HL cable but are only listed for Class I, Division 2 applications. For data sheets click here. Type MC, MV and TC cables Type MC cable is control and power cable approved for Class I, Division 2 applications. These cable must me terminated with approved fittings. Installation of these cable must also adhere to NEC Type MC and UL Standard 1569. For data sheets contact Ex Industries. Type TC cables are instrument, control and power cables for use in tray cable and is suitable for Class I, Division 2 applications. These cables must be terminated with approved fittings. Installation of these cable must also adhere to NEC articles 336, 392 and 501,and Class I circuits per NEC article 725. For data sheets contact Ex Industries. Type MV cable is 5KV medium voltage power cable approved for Class I, Division 2 applications. These cable must me terminated with approved fittings. Contact Ex Industries for data sheets.
