Standard EN 50288-7 RE-2X(st)Y PVC Cable for General Control

EN 50288-7 RE-2X(st)Y Instrumentation Cable is engineered for modern industrial control and automation systems. Featuring XLPE insulation for superior thermal and electrical efficiency, it includes a collective aluminum foil screen (st) to effectively eliminate electromagnetic interference and ensure precise signal transmission. Wrapped in a rugged PVC outer sheath (Y), it resists abrasion and chemical corrosion. Compliant with European standards, this cable is the ideal high-reliability choice for data transmission in harsh petrochemical, power, and factory environments.
