Product Information

Specification

18 AWG 12P Unshielded pairs with Overall Shield PLTC Instrumentation Tray Cable PVC/CPE 300V

Application:

• The cables can be used in raceways or, when provided with a messenger, for aerial application. When increased mechanical, chemical, or environmental protection is required, a hermetically sealed aluminum tape or copper tape armor with an additional PCV or CPE jacket can be provided.
• PLTC type Instrumentation Cable can be used in type CL3 or CL2 applications.
• Cable is suitable for use in Class I Division II hazardous locations.
• Cable is UL approved for Sunlight Resistant and Direct Burial Applications.
• Recommended Operating Voltage: 300V

Scope:

• These Instrumentation Cables are UL listed under Article 725 of the NEC and are suitable for cable tray use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations. The cable can be used in wet or dry locations and up to conductor temperatures of 105°C.
• The flame properties meet or exceed the requirements of both the UL 70,000 BTU vertical tray flame test and the comparable IEEE-383 flame test. A 210,000 BTU rating is also available upon request.
