Control cable BiT 500 BLACK OR 5x2.5 SB2229

Universal control cable for demanding applications

This five-core control cable BiT 500 BLACK OR 5x2.5 is a robust solution designed for both professional installers and end users. Engineered for reliability and durability, it offers a wide range of applications in both indoor and outdoor installations. Constructed with copper conductors and insulated and sheathed in PVC, it ensures safe and efficient transmission of control signals.

Construction and properties

The cable features a flexible stranded construction (Class 5), facilitating easy installation and routing in confined spaces. Conductors are color-coded and numbered, significantly simplifying identification during installation and subsequent maintenance. Additionally, the cable includes a protective earth conductor, enhancing operational safety. The durable outer PVC sheath provides resistance to mechanical damage and environmental factors. The cable is oil-resistant, making it ideal for industrial environments. Fire performance complies with IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 (Category C), increasing safety in the event of fire.

Applications and benefits

The BiT 500 BLACK OR 5x2.5 cable performs excellently in:

• Control installations: Perfect for connecting automation devices, sensors, and other control system components.
• Outdoor applications: Thanks to UV resistance and a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +80°C), it can be used outdoors and directly buried in soil.
• Industrial environments: Oil resistance makes it suitable for operation under harsh industrial conditions.
• Residential and commercial construction: Suitable for electrical installations in residential, office, and retail buildings.
• Mobile installations: Due to conductor flexibility, the cable is easy to route even in dynamic applications.

Note the minimum bending radii: 116 mm for mobile installations without guidance, and 58 mm for fixed installations — adhering to these values ensures long-term connection reliability. The conductor resistance is 7.98 Ω/km at 20°C. Fire reaction class is Fca according to EN 13501-6.
