BS EN 50288-7 RE-2X(st)Y Cables
Our RE-2X(st)Y cables are XLPE insulated instrumentation cables manufactured in accordance with British and European standard BS EN 50288. These multi-element metallic cables are designed for the transmission of analogue and digital signals in instrumentation, control and communications applications with a voltage rating of 300V. RE-2X(st)Y cables are typically used in process manufacturing plants such as those found in the petrochemical industry.
This range of cables is often referred to by their construction: RE-2X(st)Y - XLPE/CAM/PVC and RE-2X(st)Y SWAY - XLPE/CAM/GSWB/PVC.
