Control cable BiT 500 (St) CH 3x0.5 SB9701

Shielded Control Cable – Reliability and Safety in Every Circuit

The BiT 500 (St) CH 3x0.5 control cable is a high-quality cable designed for control installations both indoors and outdoors. Its shielded construction provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference, which is critical in automation, control, and measurement systems. This cable stands out for its flexibility and ease of installation, translating into time and labor cost savings.

Construction and Properties – The Key to Durability

The BiT 500 (St) CH 3x0.5 cable features a design ensuring high reliability and safe operation. The copper conductors, with a cross-section of 0.5 mm², are flexible multi-wire (Class 5), providing resistance to repeated bending and mechanical damage. The conductor insulation is made from materials meeting high-quality standards, and the entire cable features double shielding – an aluminum foil layer and a copper braid – minimizing the impact of external interference. Additionally, the cable is fire-resistant (compliant with IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24) and exhibits low smoke emission (IEC 61034-2), enhancing safety in case of fire. A critical feature is the absence of halogens in the material composition (compliant with IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2), making it safe for both the environment and human health.
