About:

The Okonite Bare Copper Unshielded Okoseal PVC TS-CPE UL TC CIC Tray Cable is designed for a variety of industrial applications. It features a robust construction with bare copper conductors and a durable Okoseal (PVC) insulation, making it suitable for power, control, and signal circuits in demanding environments.

Also Known As:

• Okonite Tray Cable
• Okonite Type TC Cable
• Okonite Control and Instrumentation Cable

Application:

• Okoseal-N Type TC tray cable is permitted for use on power, lighting, control, and signal circuits; indoors or outdoors; in cable trays, raceways, direct burial in the ground, or where supported in outdoor locations by a messenger wire; for Class 1 circuits as permitted in Article 725 of the NEC; and in cable trays in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations in industrial establishments where the conditions of maintenance and supervision assure that only qualified persons will service the installation.
