Control cable BiT 500 BLACK OR 12x2.5 SB2237

Control cable – reliability and safety in every circuit

The BiT 500 BLACK OR control cable is a flexible solution for electrical installations, both indoors and outdoors, as well as underground. Made of copper conductors with PVC insulation and sheath, it provides reliable operation and long-lasting performance. The cable's construction with 12 conductors with a cross-section of 2.5 mm² makes it ideal for use in control systems, automation and signal transmission.

Construction and properties

The BiT 500 BLACK OR cable is distinguished by its high quality workmanship and a number of properties that will be appreciated by both installers and end users. Numbered conductors facilitate identification of individual wires during assembly and servicing. Flame retardancy in accordance with IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 (cat. C) increases safety in the event of a fire. Additionally, oil resistance (according to IEC 60811-404) allows the cable to be used in environments exposed to contact with oils. The flexible construction with multi-wire class 5 conductors makes it easy to lay the cable even in tight spaces.

• Durable PVC insulation: Provides effective protection against mechanical damage and weathering.
• Flame retardancy: Increases installation safety and minimizes the risk of fire spreading.
• Oil resistance: Enables the use of the cable in harsh industrial conditions.
• Numbered conductors: Facilitate identification of wires during assembly and servicing.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -40°C to +80°C guarantees reliable operation in various environmental conditions.
• Permissible bending radius: 80 mm for fixed installations and 160 mm for flexible installations ensures comfortable work during installation and minimizes the risk of cable damage.

Applications and technical parameters

The BiT 500 BLACK OR cable finds wide application in residential, commercial and industrial construction. It will be perfect in installations:

• Building management systems (home automation).
• Emergency lighting.
• Fire protection systems.
• Industrial machines and equipment.
• Electrical installations outdoors (provided protection against UV radiation).

It is worth paying attention to a few key technical parameters: rated voltage 500 V, rated voltage U0 of 300 V and conductor resistance at 20°C at 7.98 Ω/km. The approximate outer diameter of the cable is 16 mm, and its weight is about 450 kg/km – which is important when planning the cable routing and calculating the structural load. Reaction to fire class according to EN 13501-6 is Fca, which means limited contribution to smoke formation and no emission of corrosive gases during combustion.
