Audio Cable Passing through Hazardous Area
Audio Cable Passing through Hazardous Area
(OP)
I have an audio cable for a intercome system that will pass from and non-hazardous area to another non-hazardous area, but in route will pass through a hazardous area. My question is if this cable needs pass through intrinsic barriers? If so, will it degrade the signal quality?
Thanks
Thanks

I don't recall but is a hazardous wire actually in the hazardous area if it remains in a sealed metal conduit,(the threaded stuff), that originates and ends in the non hazardous areas?
Somebody back me up!

I suspect this would be a problem if you have any devices in the classified area. If you run rigid steel conduit with appropriate construction methods and no splices, you can probably pass through a hazardous area, but my memory is a little hazy on that (and other matters).
Might check with the Gai-tronics folks to see if they have a solution.
