PVC data cable, twisted pair, shielded RD-Y(St)Y 16x2x0.5 mm² grey 20144

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

This shielded PVC cable, with a cross-section of 0.5 mm² and a construction of 16x2x0.5 mm², is designed for data transmission in various applications. It is suitable for both industrial installations and control and measurement systems. The RD-Y(St)Y cable is distinguished by its high quality workmanship and provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference.

This cable is particularly recommended for use with Maxi-Termi-Point* connection technology, making installation quick and convenient. Its flexibility and operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C make it a versatile solution for many environments.

Construction and properties

The RD-Y(St)Y cable is characterized by a careful construction that translates into its reliability and durability. Twisted pair cores minimize the risk of interference, and an aluminum foil acts as an electrostatic screen, protecting the signal from external electromagnetic fields. Cores made of stranded copper provide good flexibility and facilitate installation. PVC insulation guarantees resistance to mechanical damage and chemical factors.

It is worth paying attention to a few key features:

• Twisted pairs: Ensure reduction of interference and improve signal transmission quality.
• Aluminum foil screen: Protects against the influence of external electromagnetic interference, which is crucial in industrial environments.
• Wide operating temperature range: Allows the cable to be used in various environmental conditions – from -40°C to +70°C during operation and from -5°C to +50°C during installation.
• Flame resistance: Materials used in production are self-extinguishing and flame-retardant, increasing safety (tested according to DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2, DIN EN 60332-1-2, IEC 60332-1).
• No harmful substances: The cable does not contain silicone, cadmium or substances that interfere with painting.

Applications and compliance with standards

The RD-Y(St)Y cable is used in:

• measurement, control and regulation technologies;
• dispatcher stations;
• power plants;
• industry;
• data transmission systems requiring shielding;
• internal building installations.

It meets the requirements of EN 13501-6 standard in terms of reaction to fire classification (Eca). The rated operating voltage is a maximum of 600V (not intended for high-voltage installations). The insulation resistance core/core and core/screen is a minimum of 100 MOhm x km ensuring stable system operation.
