PVC data cable, twisted pair, shielded RD-Y(St)Y 8x2x0.5 mm² grey 20142

Data transmission cable RD-Y(St)Y – reliability and signal protection

This shielded PVC cable, with a twisted pair construction, is designed for data transmission in various applications – from control and measurement systems to installations in power plants and industry. The RD-Y(St)Y cable is distinguished by its high quality workmanship and provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference. It is a universal solution for both professional installers and end users looking for a reliable transmission medium.

Construction and properties

The cable consists of 16 copper conductors, twisted in pairs, which minimizes interference and ensures stable signal transmission. Each conductor has PVC insulation, and the whole is shielded with aluminum foil coated with plastic, additionally protected by a drain wire. The outer jacket made of PVC provides resistance to mechanical damage and atmospheric factors during operation indoors. The use of a varied pitch twist for the pair and bundle translates into very good penetration attenuation parameters, which is crucial for maintaining signal quality over longer distances.

Applications and benefits

The RD-Y(St)Y cable is perfect for systems:

• Measurement and control technology: precise data transmission from sensors and measuring devices.
• Control systems: reliable connections in industrial automation systems.
• Operator stations: stable signal transmission in critical applications.
• Power plants and industry: resistance to interference in harsh environmental conditions.
• Maxi-Termi-Point connection technology: optimal adaptation to this connection system thanks to excellent mechanical and electrical properties.

Additional advantages:

• Wide operating temperature range: from -40°C to +70°C (after installation), allowing the cable to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Flame resistance: meets IEC 60332-1-2 standard, ensuring safety of use.
• Silicone, cadmium and paint-inhibiting substance free: an ecological solution in line with modern standards.
• Color identification of conductors: facilitates identification of individual wires during installation (blue/red, gray/yellow, brown/brown, white/black).
• Conductor cross-section 0.5 mm²: provides adequate current carrying capacity for typical transmission applications.
• Fire reaction class Eca: meets the requirements for fire safety in buildings.
