Application

BS 5308 cables are designed to carry communication and control signals in a variety of installation types including those found in the petrochemical industry. The signals can be of analogue, data or voice type and from a variety of transducers such as pressure, proximity or microphone. Part 1 Type 2 cables are designed where a greater degree of mechanical protection is required namely outdoor / exposed or direct burial at suitable depth.
