Control cable BiT 500 (St) CH 16x1.0 SB9784

Shielded Control Cable – Reliability and Safety in Every Circuit

The BiT 500 (St) CH 16x1,0 control cable is an advanced solution designed for indoor and outdoor installations, tailored for demanding applications. It features high flexibility, resistance to external factors, and effective protection against electromagnetic interference. The dual-layer shielding—composed of a metallized foil and a tinned copper braid—minimizes the risk of interference, making it essential for control and automation systems.

Construction and Properties

The BiT 500 (St) CH 16x1,0 cable stands out for its meticulous construction and use of high-quality materials. The 16 copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 1 mm², are stranded and flexible, facilitating easy installation and ensuring durable connections. The insulation of each conductor meets high safety standards. Additionally, the cable features a combined shield: a metallized foil and a tinned copper braid, which effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference. All conductors are numbered for easy identification during installation.

• Shielding: Foil + copper braid – ensures high immunity to electromagnetic interference, especially critical in industrial environments and control systems.
• Conductors: 16 copper conductors, 1 mm² cross-section – guarantee optimal conductivity and cable flexibility.
• Insulation: Material compliant with safety standards – ensures reliable protection against short circuits and electric shock.
• Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 (Category C) – enhances installation safety in case of fire.
• Halogen-Free: Compliant with IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2 – limits emission of toxic gases during combustion, protecting health and the environment.
• Low Smoke Emission: Compliant with IEC 61034-2 – improves visibility during fire, facilitating evacuation.
