Control cable BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0,5 SB9714

Control cable BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0.5 – a reliable choice for demanding installations.

The BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0.5 cable is a flexible, double-screened control cable designed for use indoors and outdoors. Made from high-quality materials, it provides safe and efficient transmission of control signals in industrial installations, public buildings, and automation systems. Designed for demanding applications where protection against electromagnetic interference and resistance to external factors are crucial.

Construction and properties

The cable is characterized by an advanced construction ensuring high reliability and durability. Multi-wire copper conductors class 5 (according to PN-EN 60228) guarantee flexibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue. The insulation made of a special halogen-free mixture ensures safe use, minimizing the risk of toxic gas formation in the event of a fire. Additionally, the cable has a double screen – metallized foil and tinned copper braid – which effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMC). The conductors are numbered, which facilitates identification during installation and servicing.

• Halogen-free: Compliant with IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2 standards, meaning no halogen in the composition of the insulation and outer jacket – increased fire safety.
• Double screen: Metallized foil and copper braid provide excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, which is crucial in control and automation systems.
• Flexibility: Multi-wire conductor construction class 5 ensures high cable flexibility, making installation easier even in tight spaces.
• Flame retardancy: Meets the requirements of IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 (cat. C), confirming its resistance to fire propagation.
• Weather resistance: Can be used both indoors and outdoors.
• Numbered conductors: Facilitate the identification of individual wires during installation and maintenance.

Application and technical parameters

The BiT 500 (St) CH 12x0.5 cable finds wide application in installations:

• Industrial: Machines and production equipment, technological lines, process control systems.
• Public buildings: Alarm systems, fire protection systems, ventilation, air conditioning.
• Building automation: Smart home installations, lighting and heating management systems.
• Energy: Connections of measuring and control devices.

The cable has a rated voltage U/Uo 300/500V and an allowable operating temperature from -40°C to +80°C (fixed installation) and from -5°C to +70°C (flexible connections). The minimum bending radius is 5x diameter for fixed installations and 10x diameter for flexible connections. The fire reaction class according to EN 13501-6 is Dca s1 d1 a1. Conductor resistance at 20°C is 39 Ohm/km. The outer diameter of the cable is approximately 10.2 mm and its weight is about 155 kg/km.
