BFOU(i) 150/250(300)V
MGT/EPR/EPR/TCWB/EVA
NEK TS 606 CodeS3/S7
Operating temperature : 90°C
Operating Voltage : 150/250(300)V
Application
Fixed installation for instrumentation,
communication, control and alarm systems in both
EX (Zone 0, 1 & 2)- and safe areas, emergency
and critical systems where requirement for fire
resistance exists. Meets the mud resistant

Construction
| Code Letter | ||
| Conductor | Tinned annealed stranded circular copper (STCC), IEC 60228 class 2 | |
| Insulation | R | Mica-tape + EP-rubber, IEC 60092-360 (EPR) |
| Pair / Triple / Quad twisting | Color coded cores twisted together. Pairs/Triples are screened by copper backed polyester tape with tinned copper drain wire. Each pair/triple is wrapped with polyester tape to prevent electrical contact with adjacent pairs/triples. Pairs/triples are identified by numbered tape or by numbers printed directly on the insulated conductors. | |
| Lay up / Shielding | Individually shielded pairs/triples/quads are laid up in concentric layers and wrapped with a PETP tape. | |
| Inner covering | F | Flame retardant and halogen-free thermoplastic compound |
| Tape over inner covering | PET tape | |
| Armour/screen | O | Tinned annealed copper wire braid |
| Tape over armour/screen | PET tape | |
| Outer sheath | U | Flame retardant, halogen-free and mud resistant thermoset compound, SHF2 (IEC 60092-360) |
