PVC data cable, twisted pair, shielded RD-Y(St)Y 12x2x0.5 mm² grey 20143

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

This shielded PVC cable, designated RD-Y(St)Y, is a robust solution for data transmission in various applications. Designed for both professional installations and use in control and automation systems, it ensures stable signal transmission and protection against interference. This cable is particularly recommended in industrial environments, power plants, and control rooms.

The cable stands out with its construction based on 24 copper wires twisted in pairs. This solution minimizes interference and ensures high signal quality. Additionally, the aluminum foil screen protects against the influence of external electromagnetic fields, which is crucial in places exposed to disturbances. The use of PVC insulation guarantees durability and resistance to mechanical damage.

Construction features and user parameters

The RD-Y(St)Y cable has been designed with versatility and ease of installation in mind. Its outer diameter is approximately 12.5 mm, which makes it easier to route in existing installations. The wires are made of stranded copper with a cross-section of 0.5 mm², which ensures flexibility and good conductivity. The wire color scheme (blue-red, gray-yellow, brown, and white-black) facilitates identification during connection.

An important aspect is the operating temperature range of the cable – from -40°C to +70°C for fixed installation and from -5°C to +50°C during installation. It also meets the Eca standard in terms of fire reaction classification (EN 13501-6), which increases safety. It should be remembered that this cable is intended for indoor installations only.

Applications and benefits

The RD-Y(St)Y cable finds wide application in:

• Measurement and control technology: Provides precise transmission of measurement and control signals.
• Control systems: Ideal for connections between controllers and actuators.
• Control rooms: Guarantees reliable data transmission in critical applications.
• Power plants and industry: Resistant to harsh environmental conditions and electromagnetic interference.
• Maxi-Termi-Point connection technology: Works perfectly with Maxi-Termi-Point* terminal systems, ensuring quick and safe installation.

Thanks to the aluminum foil shielding, the cable effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference, which translates into stable device operation and minimizes the risk of errors in data transmission. Twisting the wires in pairs reduces mutual interference, and the use of high-quality materials guarantees long-term reliability.
