Draka LMC03012 12 AWG 3C Lifeline MC Bare Stranded Copper Unjacketed Two Hour Fire Resistive Cable

Allowable Ampacity for Draka LMC03012 12 AWG 3C Lifeline MC Bare Stranded Copper Unjacketed Two Hour Fire Resistive Cable: 100 Amps 

Applications:

Lifeline® MC fire resistive cables were designed to meet and have successfully passed the two-hour fire rating certification test per UL 2196, Standard for Tests for Fire Resistive Cables.

Lifeline® MC Cables can be used in the following applications to provide survivability during a fire: - Tall Buildings - Fire Pumps - Emergency Feeder Cables - Ventilating Fans - Stairwell Pressurization - Exit Lighting - Elevators / OEO - Emergency lighting for roadway and transit tunnels when cables include optional LSZH jacket over armor Lifeline® MC Cables are preferred over Mineral Insulated (MI) cables, concrete encasement or the construction of fire rated assemblies based on the facts that Lifeline® MC Cables are less costly and easier to install for many applications. Fire resistive cables are required per NFPA 70/NEC, Articles 517, 695, 700, 708, 728 and 760 as well as NFPA 72 and NFPA 101.
