Flexible cable 500V OZ-BL-CY 12x1 blue for EX zones shielded 14046

Flexible cable for EX zones – reliability and safety in harsh conditions. This blue, shielded OZ-BL-CY 12x1 cable with a cross-section of 1 mm² is designed for use in areas at risk of explosion. Its flexible construction and high resistance to external factors make it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users where reliability and safety are required. This cable is used in control and measuring installations in potentially explosive areas, where maintaining circuit continuity and integrity is crucial.

Construction and properties

The cable is characterized by a solid construction, ensuring long-term and trouble-free operation. Made of stranded copper, insulated with PVC type Z 7225, it provides good flexibility and ease of installation. The cores are twisted in layers, minimizing the risk of mechanical damage. Additionally, a copper braided screen protects against electromagnetic interference (EMC), which is particularly important in industrial environments. The outer PVC jacket (type TM2) provides resistance to UV radiation, weather conditions and oil. The blue jacket color makes it easy to identify the cable in the installation.

• Shielding: A braid of copper wires provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference, minimizing the risk of malfunctions.
• Flexibility: Stranded core class 5 provides high cable flexibility, making it easy to route even in tight spaces.
• Resistance: Resistant to UV radiation, weather conditions and oil – ideal for outdoor and harsh industrial environments.
• Safety: Meets the requirements of standards for intrinsically safe installations (DIN VDE 0285-525-2-51 / DIN EN 50525-2-51) and has VDE-Reg.-No. 7032 certification.
• Temperature range: Allows operation in a wide temperature range: from -40°C to +80°C (stationary) and from -10°C to +80°C (flexible).

Applications and compliance with standards

OZ-BL-CY 12x1 cable is widely used in control and measuring installations in areas at risk of explosion, such as:

• Chemical and petrochemical industry
• Mines
• Refineries
• Production plants
• Industrial automation installations

Meets the requirements of the following standards:

• DIN VDE 0165-1 / DIN EN 60079-14 / IEC 60079-14 (Section 16.2.2) – regarding installations in potentially explosive areas.
• IEC 60332-1-2 – regarding fire resistance.
• Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (CE marking).
• Reaction to fire class according to EN 13501-6: Eca

Remember to make proper contact of the shielding braid with the terminals for optimal electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The minimum bending radius is 10x cable diameter for flexible operation and 5x diameter for fixed installation.
