Control cable BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0.5 SB9713

BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0.5 Control Cable – A Reliable Choice for Professionals and Demanding Installations

This flexible, multi-core control cable BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0.5 is an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor applications requiring high flexibility and resistance to environmental factors. Designed for use in control, safety, and signaling systems, the cable features dual shielding to ensure excellent protection against electromagnetic interference.

Construction and Properties

The cable features a meticulously engineered design using high-quality materials. Class 5 fine-stranded copper conductors (per PN-EN 60228) provide excellent flexibility and resistance to bending. Insulation is made from a special halogen-free compound, enhancing safety by minimizing the emission of toxic substances in case of fire. Conductors are numbered for easy identification during installation and maintenance. The entire assembly is enclosed in an outer sheath made of halogen-free compound, providing additional mechanical protection and resistance to atmospheric conditions. A combined shield consisting of a metallized foil and copper braid effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference, which is critical for precise control systems.

Applications and Benefits

The BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0.5 cable performs exceptionally well in industrial installations, production lines, and machinery operating in both dry and humid environments. It is particularly recommended for applications in areas with elevated fire safety requirements due to the limited flammability of its materials.

• Safety: Halogen-free sheath minimizes the risk of toxic gas release during fire.
• EMI Protection: Dual shielding ensures effective protection against electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing stable operation of control systems.
• Flexibility: Fine-stranded conductors facilitate cable routing even in confined spaces and complex pathways.
• Durability: High-quality materials ensure long-term, reliable performance under diverse operating conditions.
• Identification: Numbered conductors simplify identification during installation and servicing.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operation possible from -40°C to +80°C (fixed installation), making the cable highly versatile.

In addition, the cable complies with IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 (Category C) standards, confirming its fire resistance, and meets IEC 61034-2 for low smoke emission. Fire reaction class is Dca, and acidity class per EN 13501-6 is a1 – indicating a high level of fire safety.
