ÖLFLEX® EB is the control cable with a blue outer sheath for intrinsically safe circuits. The blue colour identifies Ex i cables at a glance, as required by IEC/EN 60079-14 (clause 16.2.2), and keeps them visually separate from the other plant circuits. It is flexible, has a small outer diameter and is also suitable for outdoor installation.

Key features

  • Blue PVC outer sheath, similar to RAL 5015
  • Black cores with white numbering to VDE 0293-334, fine-wire bare copper (class 5)
  • 2 to 25 cores, 0.75 – 1 – 1.5 mm², also with green/yellow earth conductor (G)
  • U0/U 300/500 V, test voltage 3,000 V
  • UV and weather resistant (ISO 4892-3), flame retardant (IEC 60332-1-2)
  • Fixed installation from -40 to +80 °C

For intrinsically safe circuits exposed to electromagnetic interference choose the screened ÖLFLEX® EB CY. Use the filters in the Variants and codes section to find the exact part number; contact us for prices, lengths and availability.
