Specification

About:

• The Low Voltage Bare Copper Shielded Plenum PVC 150V Power-Limited Circuit Cable is a specialized cable designed for use in low voltage, power-limited circuits. This cable is typically used in environments where safety, fire resistance, and minimal smoke emissions are critical. The bare copper conductor provides excellent conductivity, while the shielded construction protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The plenum-rated PVC jacket ensures compliance with fire safety standards, making it suitable for installation in air handling spaces.
