This standard BS EN 50290-2-29:2016 - TC Tracked Changes. Communication cables is classified in these ICS categories:
33.120.10 Coaxial cables. Waveguides
29.035.20 Plastics and rubber insulating materials
This Part 2-29 of EN 50290 gives specific requirements for Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE) compounds to be used for the insulation of instrumentation, control and field bus cables. There are several routes used for manufacture of XLPE insulated cables and as a consequence a number of different types of polyethylene compound may be specified. The compounds required for the different manufacturing processes are described (Table 1). The unstabilised materials require antioxidant to be added during the cable extrusion process.
