Caledonian Cables Limited

VDE Standard Control Cable SY PVC /PVC/GSWB/PVC Control Cable Application: For use as a measuring, control and signal cable for the machine tool industry, plant construction, heating and air conditioning, and as a flexible cable between fixed and mobile equipment. The cable is well protected against mechanical damage by the narrow weave steel-wire braid. • Note: should not be used in any installations where the cable is subjected to repetitive flexing. Standards: Generally BS6500 VDE0250 Conductor: Class 5 annealed copper conductors to BS6360 / VDE0295 Insulation: PVC Bedding: PVC Braiding: Galvanized Steel Wire Braid (GSWB) Sheath: PVC (Type TM2 to BS7655) Voltage Rating: 300/500V Tempe rature rating:Flexing -15 to +70°C,Static -35 to +70°C Minimum bending radius: 6 x overall diameter Core identification: Black with White numbers.
