8 AWG 3C Bare Copper Unshielded Halogen-Free FTG18(O)M16 0.6/1KV Security Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 8 AWG 3C Bare Copper Unshielded Halogen-Free FTG18(O)M16 0.6/1KV Security Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This variant of the cable features three conductors (3C), each made from high-conductivity bare copper. The "8 AWG" designation indicates the gauge size of the conductors, which is crucial for determining the cable's electrical characteristics, such as current capacity and resistance. Being "unshielded," this cable lacks an additional protective layer against electromagnetic interference, which is typically not necessary for its intended applications. The "halogen-free" component signifies that the materials used in the cable construction do not include halogens, minimizing the release of toxic gases and smoke in fire scenarios.

Also Known As:

• "8 AWG 3C halogen-free security cable"
• "Triple conductor 8 AWG safety cable"
• These designations can vary, but they generally emphasize the gauge, conductor count, and safety features.

Application:

• Security system wiring, such as for integrated alarm or surveillance systems.
• Fire alarm circuits, where it can connect various sensors and devices across multiple zones.
• Emergency lighting systems, ensuring lights remain operational in critical situations.
• Infrastructure applications in buildings requiring reduced toxicity materials, like hospitals, schools, and public venues.

Standards:

• IEC 60502-1 for power cables, addressing construction and performance.
• Halogen-free standards, ensuring low smoke and toxic gas emissions in fires, crucial for public safety and environmental protection.
• The 0.6/1KV rating indicates the cable's voltage capacity, aligning with installation requirements for low to medium voltage applications.
