Here’s the gist on *1.5 mm2 × 2‐pair instrumentation cable*:
*Construction*
- Two twisted pairs, each conductor 1.5 mm2 tinned copper, XLPE or PVC insulated.
- Pair shielding: aluminium‐mylar foil with drain wire (SWA) for mechanical protection.
- Rated 300/500 V, . flame‐retardant PVC
*Typical uses*
- Process control, signal transmission, wiring, where EMI shielding and flexibility matter. Armour version for direct burial or harsh plant areas; non‐armoured for tray/cable‐ladder runs.
*Why pick it*
- Twisting + foil shield cuts crosstalk and EMI; 1.5 mm2 gives low voltage drop for longer runs; armour adds crush resistance. Common in oil‐gas, power, steel mills.
So it’s a shielded, twisted‐pair field cable—armoured if you need mechanical protection, otherwise plain screened—for reliable low‐level signal work.
