Flexible cable 500V OZ-BL-CY 5x2.5 blue for EX zones shielded 14062

Flexible cable for EX zones – reliable protection and flexibility

This blue, shielded OZ-BL-CY 5x2.5 cable is a solution dedicated to working in demanding conditions, especially in areas at risk of explosion. The cable is designed for control and measurement installations where reliability and resistance to interference are key. Its flexible construction makes it easy to install and route in tight spaces.

Construction and application

This cable is distinguished by its careful workmanship. It uses multi-wire copper conductors, providing good conductivity and flexibility. PVC insulation type Z 7225 guarantees safe use, and a copper braid screen minimizes the influence of electromagnetic interference (EMC). This makes the cable perfect for industrial installations where strong electromagnetic fields are present. The cable is intended for ungrounded installations with a separate electrical circuit – it is important not to lay it directly in the ground. The blue PVC coating (RAL 5015) identifies it as a cable for intrinsically safe systems (type -i-) in accordance with DIN VDE 0165-1 / DIN EN 60079-14 / IEC 60079-14.

Key features and benefits

• Safety in explosion-hazard areas: Meets the requirements of standards for intrinsically safe installations, making it an ideal choice for the chemical, petrochemical, and mining industries.
• Protection against interference: The copper braid screen effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable operation of control and measurement devices.
• Flexibility and durability: The multi-wire conductor construction and high-quality PVC coating ensure long-lasting and reliable operation even in difficult conditions.
• Resistance to external factors: The cable is resistant to UV radiation and weather conditions, allowing its use in outdoor installations.
• Wide temperature range: The ability to operate in a temperature range from -40°C to +80°C (stationary) and from -10°C to +80°C (flexible) ensures its functionality in various environments.
• No harmful substances: The materials used in production do not contain silicone, cadmium or substances that hinder painting – this is important for both the safety of installers and the environment.
• Compliance with standards: The product meets the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (CE marking) and has a VDE-Reg.-No. 7032 certificate.

Additional information: the minimum bending radius is 5x cable diameter for fixed laying and 10x cable diameter during flexible operation. Mutual capacitance conductor/screen is approximately 187 pF/m at a frequency of 800 Hz, which affects the quality of signal transmission. Coupling resistance at 30 MHz is approximately 250 Ohm/km.
