Their typical diameter of 7.5 mm, minimum bend radius of 10x diameter, and typical outer sheath thickness of 1.5 mm enable easy handling and neat installation in trays, conduits, or for direct burial. Whether for indoor or outdoor use, these cables are crafted for versatile deployment.
FAQs of Foundation Fieldbus Cables:
Q: How should Foundation Fieldbus Cables be installed to ensure maximum performance and longevity?
A: To optimize signal integrity and durability, install Foundation Fieldbus Cables with a minimum bend radius of 10 times the overall diameter. They support indoor, outdoor, tray, and armored direct burial installations. Proper routing and protection from mechanical stress or extreme moisture will maximize cable lifespan and performance.
Q: What makes these cables suitable for process automation and hazardous environments?
A: These cables deliver 100% shield coverage to minimize electromagnetic interference, feature robust moisture resistance, and offer a low smoke, halogen-free construction option. This ensures reliable communication and enhanced safety in process automation, hazardous environments, and safety-conscious industrial settings.
Q: When is it necessary to use the halogen-free version of this cable?
A: The halogen-free version is recommended for sites with strict fire safety requirements or where minimizing toxic gas emission during fire is critical. This variant reduces health risks and potential equipment damage, making it ideal for enclosed, populated, or mission-critical environments.
Q: Where can Foundation Fieldbus Cables be utilized within industrial sites?
A: These cables are designed for use throughout industrial plantsin control rooms, field instrumentation areas, and hazardous process zones. Their resilience and shielding make them suitable for distributed control systems, fieldbus networks, and both indoor and outdoor runs, including direct burial with optional armored construction.
Q: What are the benefits of the cables foamed polyethylene insulation and tinned copper conductors?
A: Foamed PE insulation significantly reduces capacitance and attenuates electrical noise, ensuring superior signal clarity over long runs. Tinned copper conductors offer enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance, boosting both transmission reliability and cable longevity.
Q: How can I order Foundation Fieldbus Cables in custom lengths or configurations?
A: You may request custom lengths and specific configurations directly from the manufacturer or supplier in India. The cables can be supplied on reels according to your project specifications, facilitating tailored solutions for unique site or system requirements.
