Prysmian Draka BFOU Offshore Cable Applications
Instrumentation Cable nek ts 606
Fixed installation for instrumentation, communication, control and alarm systems in both EX (hazardous area Zone 0, 1 & 2) and safe areas, emergency and critical systems where requirement for fire resistance exists . The cable meets the mud resistant requirements in NEK TS 606:2009.
Instrumentation Cable Core Identification
- Pair – Black – Light Blue
- Triple – Black – Light Blue – Brown
- Quad – Black – Light Blue – Brown – Grey
| BFOU Instrumentation Cable Construction | Code Letter | BFOU Instrumentation Cable Description |
| Conductor | Tinned annealed stranded circular copper (STCC), IEC 60228 class 2 | |
| Insulation | B | Mica-tape + EP-rubber, IEC60092-360 (EPR) |
| Pair / Triple / Quadtwisting | Color coded cores twisted together and wrapped with polyestertape. Pairs/Triples are laid up collectively and screened by copper backed polyester tape with tinned copper drainwire. Pairs/triples are identified by numbered tape or by number sprinted directly on the insulated conductors | |
| Inner covering | F | Flame retardant and halogen-free thermoset compound |
| Tape over inner covering | PET tape | |
| Cable armour/screen | O | Tinned annealed copper wire braid |
| Tape over armour/scree | PET tape | |
| Cable outer sheath | U | Flame retardant, halogen-free and mud resistant thermoset compound, SHF2 (IEC 60092-360) |
