Details for the installer
Professional Installation Features
Metre markings help you measure each run. The pulling-load and bend-radius specifications help you plan cable routing and handling during installation.
Maximum Pulling Load: 100 N
Keep pulling force within the specified limit when drawing cable along the installation route.
Minimum Bend Radius During Installation
8 × the cable outer diameter. Once installed, the minimum bend radius is 4 × the cable outer diameter. Avoid bends tighter than these limits.
Flame Retardant – IEC 60332-1-2
The specification lists flame retardance in accordance with IEC 60332-1-2. The separate reaction-to-fire classification is Fca to EN 13501-6.
Useful Installation Details
68% NVP
Nominal velocity of propagation: a cable parameter used when configuring compatible length-measurement and test equipment.
Approx. 5.2mm outer diameter
Use the cable diameter when checking routing space, termination components and minimum bend radius.
Metre-marked jacket
Printed length markings help measure the cable used for each run.
−20°C to +60°C
Stated operating temperature range.
