Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS)
Instrumentation and control cable 300/500 V, halogen-free, armoured
Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS) is the halogen-free, armoured instrumentation cable to EN 50288-7: copper with thermoplastic polyolefin insulation, aluminium/polyester screens per pair and overall, halogen-free inner sheath, steel wire armour and a halogen-free outer sheath, reaction-to-fire class Cca-s1b,d1,a1. For control and measurement in hazardous (explosive) areas where interference and mechanical stress come together.
Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS) is suitable for applications with a high risk of electromagnetic interference and where halogen-free and flame-retardant properties are required. Recommended for industrial installations with a risk of mechanical damage, such as service stations, petrochemical plants and flammable product warehouses.
Also known as: halogen-free instrumentation cable
Applications
- Instrumentation and control in hazardous areas (ATEX) where EN 60079-14 calls for an armoured cable.
- Signal cable running alongside power cables and drives: screen per pair and overall.
- Halogen-free installations that require Cca, without a circuit-integrity requirement.
What to look out for
- Thermoplastic insulation: 70 °C conductor temperature max. and no circuit integrity. If the signal must survive a fire, choose RHOZ1MZ1-K(AS+).
- Earth the pair screens at one end, usually in the instrument cabinet.
- Earth the armour with SWA glands at both ends.
- Conductor
- Rigid (class 2) or flexible (class 5) electrolytic copper conductor according to UNE-EN 60228 / IEC 60228.
- Insulation
- Thermoplastic polyolefin according to EN 50288-7.
- Screen (individual/overall)
- Aluminium/polyester foil.
- Inner sheath
- Thermoplastic polyolefin according to EN 50288-7.
- Armour
- Galvanised steel wire armour.
- Outer sheath
- Thermoplastic polyolefin according to EN 50288-7.
- Nominal voltage
- 300/500 V.
- Test voltage
- 2,000 V AC
- Max. conductor temperature
- 70 °C in normal operation.
- Max. short-circuit temperature
- 160 °C (max. 5 s).
- Flame propagation
- Non-propagating according to EN 60332-1-2 / IEC 60332-1-2.
- Suitable for
- Industrial use; hazardous areas (ATEX) where EN 60079-14 calls for an armoured cable.
Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS) or RHOZ1MZ1-K(AS+)?
Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS)
- thermoplastic polyolefin
- rated 70 °C
- no circuit integrity
RHOZ1MZ1-K(AS+)
- XLPE with mica tape
- rated 90 °C
- circuit integrity up to PH120
Both have a screen per pair, a collective screen, steel wire armour and halogen-free sheaths; the difference is the insulation. Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS) has thermoplastic polyolefin rated 70 °C, without circuit integrity. RHOZ1MZ1-K(AS+) has a mica tape with XLPE rated 90 °C and keeps the circuit working in a fire up to PH120. Without a circuit-integrity requirement, Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS) is enough for control and measurement.

Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS)
- stranded copper, class 2
Z1HOZ1MZ1-K(AS)
- fine-stranded copper, class 5
Without K the cable has stranded class 2 copper, the K version fine-stranded class 5 copper. Insulation, screens and armour are the same. Fine-stranded copper bends more easily when pulling in and terminating, but needs ferrules for a reliable terminal connection. Choose the K version for tight bends and a lot of termination work; otherwise Z1HOZ1MZ1(AS) is enough.
