Flexible cable 500V OZ-BL-CY 12x2.5 blue for EX zones shielded 14064

Flexible cable for EX zones – reliable protection in harsh conditions

This blue, shielded cable OZ-BL-CY 12x2.5 is a flexible solution for installation in areas at risk of explosion. The control and measuring cable is designed for use in intrinsically safe systems, where reliability and safety are key. Thanks to the copper braid screen, it effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMC), which is particularly important in precise control and measurement systems.

Construction and application

This cable is used in control and measurement installations in potentially explosive areas, where high resistance to external factors is required. Made of multi-wire copper core, insulated with PVC, it provides flexibility and durability. Twisted cores and an insulating foil under the screen increase resistance to mechanical damage and environmental influences. The blue PVC coating (RAL 5015) identifies it as intended for intrinsically safe -i- systems. The cable is not designed for direct burial.

Key features and benefits

• Safety in EX zones: Meets the standards DIN VDE 0165-1 / DIN EN 60079-14 / IEC 60079-14, Section 16.2.2, guaranteeing its suitability for hazardous areas.
• EMC shielding: Copper wire braid protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable device operation. For optimal EMC protection, it is recommended to ensure good contact of the braid with the terminals (e.g. cable glands).
• Flexibility and durability: Multi-wire copper core and flexible PVC coating allow for easy installation and use even in harsh conditions. The operating temperature range from -40°C to +80°C (stationary) and from -10°C to +80°C (flexible) ensures reliability in various environments.
• Resistance to external conditions: The cable is resistant to UV radiation and weathering, allowing it to be used in outdoor installations.
• Compliance with standards: Product complies with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (CE marking) and VDE-Reg.-No. 7032.
• High-quality material: Materials used in production do not contain silicone, cadmium or substances hindering painting.
• Practical marking: The blue coating makes it easy to identify the cable as intended for intrinsically safe systems.
