MSR-2X(St)YQYPimf (MSR-2X(St)YQY-PiMF XLPE-Insulated Pair/Overall Screened Steel-Wire Braided Instrument Cable) is manufactured in accordance with BS EN 50288-7 / PAS 5308 for 300/500 V service over -30 °C to +90 °C. Its 8-layer construction comprises stranded bare & tinned copper conductor, al/polyester individual screen, yellow pair identification tape, xlpe core insulation, al/polyester overall screen, pvc inner sheath, galvanized steel wire braid, pvc outer sheath.

What is the minimum bending radius and installation temperature for MSR-2X(St)YQYPimf?

The minimum installed bending radius for MSR-2X(St)YQYPimf is 10 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -30 °C to +90 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric stability without conductor or insulation strain.

How are the concentric layers of MSR-2X(St)YQYPimf arranged from inside to outside?

From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) Stranded bare & tinned copper conductor (High-conductivity bare & tinned copper conductor per BS EN 50288-7 / PAS 5308); (02) Al/polyester individual screen (Al/polyester individual screen metallic electromagnetic screen (individual core / group layer)); (03) Yellow pair identification tape (Helically applied yellow pair identification tape); (04) XLPE core insulation (Extruded XLPE dielectric (individual core / group layer)); (05) Al/polyester overall screen (Al/polyester overall screen metallic electromagnetic screen (lapped tape)); (06) PVC inner sheath (Extruded PVC inner sheath protective layer (continuous layer)); (07) Galvanized steel wire braid (Galvanized steel wire braid high-coverage braided layer (woven structure)); (08) PVC outer sheath (Extruded PVC outer sheath protective layer (continuous layer)).

What factory test certificates are supplied with MSR-2X(St)YQYPimf?

Every production drum or spool of MSR-2X(St)YQYPimf undergoes routine conductor DC resistance, dimensional and dielectric/integrity testing per BS EN 50288-7 / PAS 5308, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
