Control Cable BiT 500 (St) CH 2x2.5 – A Reliable Choice for Control and Power Supply

The BiT 500 (St) CH 2x2.5 control cable is a high-quality cable designed for control and power applications. Its shielded construction provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for industrial environments and public utility buildings. The cable offers excellent flexibility and ease of installation, resulting in time and cost savings during setup.

Construction and Properties

The BiT 500 (St) CH 2x2.5 cable is engineered for safety and durability. It features copper conductors with a cross-section of 2.5 mm², protected by a combined shield consisting of a metallized foil and tinned copper braid. Conductors are numbered for easy identification during termination. Thanks to high-quality materials, the cable meets stringent fire safety standards: it is flame-retardant according to IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24, and has a fire reaction class Dca per EN 13501-6. Additionally, it is halogen-free in accordance with IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2, minimizing the risk of toxic gas emission during combustion.

The cable features shielding composed of a metallized foil and copper braid, ensuring robust protection against electromagnetic interference. Conductors are flexible, multi-wire class 5, guaranteeing high flexibility and simplified installation. It complies with flame-retardancy standards IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 and holds fire reaction class Dca per EN 13501-6, enhancing safety in case of fire. It is halogen-free per IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2, reducing toxic gas emissions during combustion. Numbered conductors facilitate correct identification and connection. The wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C enables use in diverse environmental conditions.

Applications
