Product Information

Specification

About:

This cable is designed for low voltage applications, typically used in power-limited circuits. It features individual shielding for each conductor with aluminum foil, a drain wire for managing electromagnetic interference, and a PVC jacket suitable for plenum spaces. This configuration helps maintain signal integrity and reduce noise in sensitive installations.

Also Known As:

• Plenum-rated shielded low voltage cable
• Aluminum foil shielded plenum cable
• Bare copper drain wire plenum cable

Application:

• HVAC control systems
• Security and alarm systems
• Fire alarm circuits
• Communication backbones in building automation

Standards:

• NEC (National Electrical Code) Article 725 for Power-Limited Circuits
• UL 910 for Plenum Cables, indicating compliance with fire-safety and smoke emission standards
• Other industry-specific certifications depending on the region and application requirements

Construction:

• Conductor: Made of bare copper, offering excellent electrical properties.
• Insulation: Each conductor is wrapped individually with aluminum foil which acts as a shield.
• Drain Wire: A tinned copper drain wire is included to help with grounding any interference captured by the shield.
• Jacket: The outer jacket is made of PVC, which is plenum-rated to emit low smoke and resist fire in HVAC spaces.
• Voltage Rating: Rated for 150V, suitable for low voltage power-limited circuits.

Features:

• Fire Resistance: The cable's materials are chosen to resist ignition and slow the spread of flames.
• Low Smoke Production: Critical in plenum spaces to minimize smoke in case of a fire, aiding in safer evacuation and less damage to sensitive equipment.
• Electromagnetic Interference Shielding: Individual and overall shielding ensures minimal interference from external electromagnetic sources, crucial for maintaining the integrity of the transmitted signals.
• Durability: PVC insulation and jacketing provide a tough, resilient cover that protects the inner conductors from physical and environmental stress.
