Applications
These instrumentation and communication cables are used to transmit analogue or digital signals in measurement and process control. They are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications, in moist areas, where hydrocarbon and mechanical protection are needed. The lead cover brings an enhanced resistance to aromatics hydrocarbons.
