Example of decoding the product designation of a temperature resistant special cable
Based on the adjoining product designation, the depicted
cable may be described as follows:
SiCsB (Fp 7xAWG28(19sp)(BDsB(Fp AWG28(7tc)+Fp AWG28(7tc)+Fp AWG28(19sp)))) 250 V
If these components have power shielding properties the code
is suxed with a small “s”. A shielding braid made of copper
wires, for instance, is therefore abbreviated “Cs”.
Codes at LEONI HighTemp Solutions
As a basic rule, our product designations describe the cable’s
construction from the outside in.
( ) = layer ( ) = layer ( ) = layer
In the depicted cable cross section,
single layers are marked by coloured
brackets. To ease orientation, the
same coloured brackets are replicated
in the product designation above.
If dierent components are used
within a strand/layer, the codes are
linked with a “+” sign.

the number of wires and
the cross section (see
