Flexible cable 500V OB-BL-P-CY 2x2x0.5 blue for EX zones shielded 14077

Flexible cable for EX zones – reliable protection in demanding conditions

This blue flexible cable, catalog number 14077, is designed for installations in potentially explosive atmospheres. It meets strict intrinsic safety standards (VDE 0165) and ensures safe operation in harsh industrial environments. The twisted pair and shielding construction minimizes electromagnetic interference, which is crucial for the proper operation of equipment in EX zones.

Construction and application

This cable is particularly recommended for intrinsically safe installation systems where high resistance to external factors is required. Made of high-quality materials, it provides long-lasting and reliable operation. The cable has multi-strand copper conductors class 5, which guarantees flexibility and ease of installation. PVC insulation and a braided shield provide effective protection against mechanical damage and environmental influences. The blue jacket color facilitates cable identification in the installation and indicates its intended use for -i- type intrinsically safe systems.

Key features and benefits

• Safety: Compliance with DIN VDE 0165-1 / DIN EN 60079-14 / IEC 60079-14, Section 16.2.2 guarantees safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Interference resistance: Braided copper shield minimizes the influence of external and internal electromagnetic fields (EMC). For optimal protection, it is recommended to ensure contact of the braid with the terminals on both sides.
• Flexibility: Multi-strand conductor construction class 5 makes it easy to lay the cable even in tight spaces.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials (PVC), resistant to oil and does not contain silicone, cadmium or substances that hinder painting.
• Wide temperature range: The cable retains its properties in the temperature range of -30°C to +80°C (for fixed laying) and -10°C to +80°C (flexible).
• Electrical parameters: Rated voltage U is 900 V, and the conductor cross-section is 0.5 mm². Mutual capacitance core/core at 800 Hz is approximately 105 pF/m, and core/screen approximately 145 pF/m.
• Dimensions: Approximate outer diameter of the cable is 7.6 mm.
• Metered: Supplied in meter lengths for convenient installation and waste minimization.
