Control cable BiT 500 (St) 24x2x0.5 500V SB0419

Universal control cable for diverse applications

The BiT 500 (St) control cable is a reliable solution for transmitting control signals in electrical installations. Its construction features copper conductors, PVC insulation, and a foil shield, ensuring effective protection against interference and high durability. This cable is suitable for use in industrial, commercial, and residential installations, particularly where resistance to external factors and signal stability are required.

Construction and properties

The BiT 500 (St) cable features a design based on 24 twisted pairs, each containing two conductors with a cross-section of 0.5 mm². The conductors are made of copper, guaranteeing excellent electrical conductivity. PVC insulation provides resistance to abrasion, moisture, and exposure to various chemicals. An additional foil shield minimizes the impact of electromagnetic interference on the transmitted signal. The use of flexible class 5 conductors facilitates installation and routing in confined spaces.

• Shielding: Aluminum foil protects against electromagnetic interference, which is critical in industrial environments and precision applications.
• Flexibility: Multi-wire conductor construction (Class 5) simplifies cable routing even under challenging conditions.
• Resistance: PVC insulation offers protection against moisture, abrasion, and numerous chemicals.
• Rated voltage: Suitable for operation at voltages up to 500V.
• Conductor identification: Numbered for easy identification during installation and servicing.
• Temperature range: Operates reliably in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +80°C, enhancing its versatility.

Applications and compliance with standards

The BiT 500 (St) cable is ideal for use in dry and humid indoor environments and outdoors, provided it is protected from UV radiation. It is well-suited for installations in:

• Machine and equipment control
