Specification

16 AWG 12P TC FR-EPR Shielded Pairs Overall Shield Instrumentation Cable 600V

Application:

• UL listed and OSHA acceptable. Recognized for use in Class 1 or 2, Division 2 hazardous locations. Suitable for use in cable trays, raceways, ducts and conduits, direct burial or supported by a messenger for use at temperature ratings not exceeding 90°C in wet or dry locations and outdoors where a sunlight resistant rating is required. These cables shall conform to (UL) Type TC Power and Control Tray Cables and National Electrical Code Articles 336, 392, 500 and 501. These cables pass the IEEE-383 70,000 BTU flame test, the IEEE 1202 flame test and the ICEA T-29-520 210,000 BTU flame test. Designed for control, power, lighting, telemetry, signals and relay or traffic control.

Scope:

• This specification covers the minimum construction requirements for paired cables (UL) listed Type TC consisting of Class B stranded annealed tinned copper, insulated with cross-linked polyethylene, cabled together and jacketed overall with a chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) jacket.

Also Known As:

16 AWG 12P Instrumentation Cable, Tray Cable, 16 AWG 12P FR-EPR Shielded Instrumentation Cable, 16 AWG 12P 600V Shield Instrumentation Cable, FR-EPR Shielded Cable.

Construction:

Conductors: 

Class B (7 wires) annealed tinned copper.

Insulation:

Flame retardant EPR shall be applied concentrically over each conductor and shall conform to (UL).

Drain Wire:

Class B (7 wires) annealed tinned copper.
