Control cable BiT 500 (St) 12x0.5 SB0264

Universal control cable for automation and control

The BiT 500 (St) 12x0.5 control cable is a reliable solution for control and signaling installations, ideal for both professional installers and end-users. This cable, manufactured by ZAKŁADY KABLOWE BITNER SP. Z O.O., is distinguished by its flexibility, durability, and resistance to external factors. The use of foil shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal transmission in demanding industrial environments.

Construction and application

The BiT 500 (St) 12x0.5 cable features a construction tailored to the needs of modern automation systems. Made of copper conductors with a cross-section of 0.5 mm², insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it provides efficient transmission of control signals. The conductors are numbered for easy identification during installation and maintenance. Aluminum foil shielding protects against interference, and the cable also has an earthing conductor for increased safety. This cable is used in the construction of machines, industrial equipment, lighting control systems, and anywhere reliable transmission of control and signaling signals is required.

Key features and benefits

• Flexibility: Multi-wire conductor construction class 5 ensures easy installation and routing of the cable even in tight spaces.
• Shielding: Aluminum foil effectively reduces electromagnetic interference, which is crucial in industrial environments exposed to interference.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials – copper and PVC – guarantees long-term operation even in harsh working conditions (ambient temperature from -40°C to +80°C).
• Safety: Rated voltage of 500 V and the presence of an earthing conductor ensure safe operation of the installation.
• Identification: Numbered conductors facilitate identification and connection of wires, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of errors.
• Compliance with standards: The cable meets safety standards (flame retardancy according to IEC 60332-1-2) confirming its high quality and reliability.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications – from simple home installations to advanced industrial systems.

Operating parameters

The minimum bending radius of the cable is 49 mm for fixed installations and 98 mm for mobile installations, which facilitates routing the cables in various configurations. The conductor resistance at 20°C is 39 ohms/km, which ensures efficient signal transmission over a suitable distance. The reaction to fire class according to EN 13501-6 is Eca, which means limited flammability of the cable material. The weight of the cable is approximately 134 kg/km with an outer diameter of about 9.8 mm.
