Description
Applications
These instrumentation and communication cable are used to transmit analogue or digital signals in measurement and process control in moist areas and where aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons may be present. They are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications where chemical and mechanical protections are needed (refinery areas, chemical plant...). The individual screening of each pair limits the consequence of crosstalk. Hypron® offers an alternative to conventional lead sheathed cable and is an environmental friendly solution.
