Description
Application
These cables are used for intrinsically safe circuits. For hazard-prone areas, cables with blue sheath are used for controlling and measuring requirements. These installations are not earthed and require a separate power circuit. Tinned copper braid screen ensures disturbance-free transmission of data and signals.
Standard
Adapted to DIN EN 60079-14: VDE 0165 Part 1.
