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) |
