About:

This cable is engineered for signal transmission in instrumentation and control applications where mechanical protection and signal integrity are paramount. The term "Stranded BC" signifies that the cable uses stranded bare copper conductors, which provide flexibility and good conductivity. "Individual Al Tape" indicates that each pair or core is individually shielded with aluminum tape to minimize electromagnetic interference. "XLPE" stands for cross-linked polyethylene, used here for insulation, known for its high electrical insulation properties and resistance to various stressors. "Armour" suggests that the cable has an additional protective layer, typically steel or aluminum, providing mechanical protection. "LSOH" refers to the low smoke zero halogen outer sheath, which ensures safety in fire conditions by emitting limited smoke and no halogen. "Instrumentation Cable" underlines its primary use in transmitting signals for monitoring and control.
