The customised types
2.5 Cabling elements
Cabling elements according to the standard are cores, pairs, triples and quads.
Acoreisaninsulatedconductor
A pair consists of two twisted cores which form a linecircuit
A tripleconsistsof three twistedcoreswhich form linecircuitswithoneanother
Aquadconsistsof four twistedcores inwhich thedia-metricallyopposedcoresformalinecircuit
The length of lay of a part, triple or quad, must not exceed
00mmforconductorsizes≤.mm²or
0mmforconductorsize.mm²
Tokeepinternalinterferenceofcablingelements–pairs,triplesorquads–aslowaspossible,adjacentelementshave different lengths of lay.
2.6 Cable assembly
The cable elements must be assembled in concentric layers to form the cable core either
directlyor
intheformofunits
Units consist of a certain number of cores, pairs, triples or quads.
The direction of lay of successive layers of multi layer cables changes from layer to layer. This measure also con-tributes to the mutual decoupling of unScreened pairs, triples or quads from each other.

2.7 Screening
2.7.1 design
Screening can be either screening of individual cable elements and/or an overall screening. Screening measures accordingtothestandardarelistedbelow:
plain or coated copper braid with a minimum filling factor of 0.6
a combination of plastic-laminated metal foil and a plain or coated copper braid with a minimum filling factor of 0.3
plastic-laminatedmetalfoilwithaminimumoverlapof0%,adrainwireindirectcontactwiththemetal-licsideofthefoilandalaminatedsheath(foroverallscreeningonly).
Screening measures must be provided in order to reduce or prevent possible interference such as
cross-talk from adjacent line circuit in the cable itself or
externally induced inference from sources outside the cable.
2.7.2 Internal interference
TheonlysignificantfactorforScreeningagainstinternalinterferenceisthecapacitance(unbalanced)betweenthecabling elements. Magnetic interference can be disregarded here.
Precautions used for reducing and to avoiding internal interference are
different length of lay of the various cabling elements (see 2.3) or
individual screening of the various cabling elements
Individual screening usually consists of plastic-laminated aluminium foil applied so as to overlap helically and a copperdrainwireincontinuouscontactwiththemetallicsideofthefoil.
An at least 20 % overlap of the foil guarantees 100 % coverage of the cabling element even in small bends.

2.9 Chemical and/or environmental protection
If there is a risk of oils and chemicals affecting cables after installation, protective measures must be taken.
The grading of the possible effects on the cables is determined by the nature, condition and quantity of the ef-fecting medium, the duration of immersion and the temperature. In certain cases, plastic sheaths afford adequate protection, but more stringent measures must usually be taken in order to avoid negative effects on the long-term functioning of the cables involved.
Fordirectlyburiedcablesinparticular,theENstandardrecommendsthefollowingstructuralelements:
a)Leadsheath
Lead sheathes are the best protective measure against oils and chemicals. They are especially recommended wheresoilsareheavilypolluted.
Leadalloysheathedtypesshouldbeusedwheretherearehighmechanical loads due to vibration.
b) Multi layer sheath
Multilayer sheaths consist of a longitudinal plastic-coated alumin-ium foil, a layer of high-density polyethylene and an additional covering of polyamide. The aluminium foil is bonded inside the overlapandwiththeinnersurfaceoftheHDPEsheath.
Multilayer sheaths are an adequate alternative to lead sheaths foralargenumberofapplications.Comparedtocableswithleadsheaths, thosewithmultilayer sheathsare smaller and lighter,thusallowinglongerhandlinglengths.

2) Following Standards are correspond-ing with the IEC-Standard 60584
♦ DIN 43722 ♦ BS 4937 part 20 + 30 ♦ NFC 32-424 ♦ JIS C 1610 section 1
Temperature ranges and tolerances to IEC 60584. part 3, July 1989. Colour coding for conductors and outer sheaths to IEC 60584. part 3, July 1989Besides the identification letter of the thermocou-ple type, extension cables are identified by „X“ compensating cables by „C“ The colour coding of BC, NX and NC is according to DIN 43722.
The identification system of ANSI does not differ between extension and compensating cables; all materials are marked „X“. For BX the temperature range and tolerance have to be agreed upon between end-user and manufacturer.
