BS EN 50288-7 Communications & Control Cable - PVC, CAT
OVERVIEW
Overview
BS EN 50288-7:2005 Multi-element metallic cables which are used in analogue and digital communication and control systems. The cables have a mechanically robust construction and electrical transmission handling properties. These cables are designed to connect electrical instrument circuits and provide communication services in and around process plants and are not to be used for power supply. BS EN 50288-7 replaces the BS5308 Standard. BS 5308 has been subsequently changed to PAS5308. Cleveland Cable still support the older standards.
