Flexible cable 500V OB-BL-P-CY 3x2x0.75 blue for EX zones shielded 14090

Flexible cable for hazardous areas

This blue OB-BL-P-CY 3x2x0.75 cable is designed for demanding applications in potentially explosive atmospheres. Its special construction and shielding ensure safe and reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions. This cable is ideal for intrinsically safe systems, meeting VDE 0165 part 1 and part 12.2.2.6 standards, confirming its suitability for explosion-proof areas of type -i-.

Construction and application

The cable features a twisted-pair construction, which, combined with shielding, minimizes the influence of external and internal electromagnetic fields – crucial for maintaining signal stability and safety in industrial environments. The use of a copper braid as a shield provides high effectiveness in suppressing interference. This makes this cable particularly recommended where electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is required. For optimal EMC, it is recommended to ensure good contact of the braid with the terminals, e.g. using appropriate cable gland.

This cable is used in installations requiring high resistance to interference and safety in potentially explosive areas. It is a solution dedicated to installers and users looking for a reliable cable that meets stringent safety standards.

Technical characteristics and benefits

The cable has a conductor cross-section of 0.75 mm², which provides adequate conductivity for many applications. Made of un-tinned, stranded flexible copper class 5 (according to DIN VDE 0295 / IEC 60228), it is characterized by high flexibility and ease of installation. The core insulation made of PVC (DIN VDE 0207-363-3 / DIN EN 50363-3) provides good electrical and mechanical protection.

• Safety: Meets the requirements of standards for intrinsically safe installations (DIN VDE 0165-1 / DIN EN 60079-14 / IEC 60079-14).
• Interference resistance: Copper braid shielding minimizes the influence of electromagnetic interference (EMC).
• Flexibility: Stranded conductor construction makes it easy to lay the cable even in tight spaces.
• Durability: Outer PVC coating provides resistance to mechanical damage and weathering.
• Temperature range: Operation at temperatures from -30°C to +80°C (stationary) and -10°C to +80°C (flexible) allows the cable to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Compliance with directives: The product is compliant with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (CE marking).

Additionally, the materials used in production do not contain silicone, cadmium or substances hindering painting – which is important for many industrial applications. Also, remember the approximate outer diameter of the cable is 9.1 mm and that AWG sizes are given as a guide – the exact cross-section should be read in mm².
