Control cable BiT 500 BLACK OR 5x1.5 SB2199

Control cable for demanding applications

This 5-core control cable BiT 500 BLACK OR with a cross-section of 1.5 mm² is a robust solution ideal for both professional installers and end users. Constructed with copper conductors and insulated and sheathed in PVC, it ensures reliable performance under diverse conditions. Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, this cable is also suitable for direct burial in the ground.

Construction and properties

The cable features high flexibility thanks to its class 5 multi-wire conductor construction, facilitating easy installation and routing in confined spaces. The conductors are black and clearly numbered for straightforward identification, and an additional yellow-green conductor is provided for grounding. The use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as both insulation and outer sheath ensures resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and oils—critical in harsh industrial environments. Additionally, the cable is flame-retardant in accordance with IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 (Category C), enhancing installation safety.

Applications and benefits

The BiT 500 BLACK OR cable performs excellently in:

• Control installations: Ideal for connecting sensors, controllers, and other automation devices.
• Outdoor applications: Resistance to weather conditions enables use outside buildings.
• Direct burial: The ability to be directly buried eliminates the need for additional protective measures.
• Industrial applications: Oil resistance makes it suitable for industrial environments.
• Residential and commercial construction: Its versatility allows use in various building types.

Thanks to its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C, the cable maintains its properties even under extreme conditions. The minimum bending radius is 101 mm for mobile installations and 50.5 mm for fixed installations, enabling flexible routing in diverse configurations. The cable undergoes a voltage test of 3000 V (50 Hz) and features an insulation resistance of 20 MΩ × km—guaranteeing safe and reliable system operation.
