Ramcro Heavy-Duty BMS Control Cable (3CX18mm)
The Ramcro Building Management System (BMS) 3-Core Control Cable is a high-performance, multi-conductor signal and power-delivery bus cable specifically engineered for modern commercial building automation and HVAC management loops. Featuring 3 robust stranded cores paired with a cross-sectional equivalent rating (18 mm), this cable is designed to support longer control distances without severe voltage drop, offering high-reliability lines between centralized programmable logic controllers (PLCs), heavy field actuators, and system power stages.
Key Features
-
High-Conductivity 3-Core Build: Outfitted with 3 robust, multi-strand conductor cores that provide optimal flexibility and reliable termination contacts within standard screw or spring terminals.
-
Advanced Shielding Barrier: Features an integrated overall aluminum/polyester foil wrap paired with a continuous tinned copper drain wire to block electromagnetic interference (EMI) originating from nearby power cables and high-voltage machinery.
-
Industrial-Grade Outer Insulation: Protected by a tough, flame-retardant grey PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket, providing excellent resistance against structural abrasion and chemical exposure inside cable trays.
-
Standard Industrial Color Schemes: Internally color-coded (typically Red, Black, and White) to simplify terminal identification and guarantee error-free phase alignment during installation.
-
Long-Distance Optimization: The lower resistance of the 1.8 mm wire gauge size makes it an ideal selection for extended circuit runs traversing multiple floors or expansive industrial plants.
