Products more details

Cables designed for use in intrinsically safe circuits within hazardous (explosive) areas, including chemical, petrochemical and gas industry facilities. They feature a blue outer sheath in accordance with the requirements of standard EN 60079-14, enabling easy identification during installation and operation. These cables comply with the relevant intrinsic safety requirements for Ex-rated systems.

Application

Chemical and Petrochemical Industry – Ex-zoned installations, instrumentation and control systems, process monitoring
Oil and gas industry – drilling platforms, refineries, transmission and distribution stations, LNG terminals
Power Generation and Heat & Energy Sector – power plants, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, biogas facilities — particularly in explosion-hazard areas
Mining – underground and surface installations in coal, gas, or metal ore extraction plants
Pharmaceutical and food industry – Ex-rated production lines, clean zones with controlled ignition-risk environments
Waste Management Facilities – areas with a potential for explosive atmospheres due to fermentation gases
Fuel Storage, Filling Facilities and Logistics Terminals – distribution and control infrastructure in ignition-hazard zones
Industrial automation in Ex zones – integration with control systems, sensors, and measuring devices
