24 AWG 3P Bare Copper Shield Individual Al Foil Drain TC Plenum PVC 150V Low Voltage Power-Limited Circuit Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 24 AWG 3P Bare Copper Shield Individual Al Foil Drain TC Plenum PVC 150V Low Voltage Power-Limited Circuit Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This specific cable is designed for low-voltage power-limited applications, featuring a 24 AWG (American Wire Gauge) 3-pair bare copper conductor, each pair individually shielded with aluminum foil. It includes a drain wire to help eliminate any electromagnetic interference (EMI) and is encased in a plenum-rated PVC jacket, making it suitable for use in spaces used for air circulation for heating and air conditioning systems, where fire resistance and low smoke production are required.

Also Known As:

• 24 AWG 3-Pair Shielded Plenum Cable
• Low Voltage Plenum Cable with Foil Shield
• EMI Protected Plenum Cable

Application:

• Suitable for use in voice, data, and video applications, including security camera wiring within buildings.
• Commonly used in building management systems and environmental control systems.
• Ideal for alarm circuits, audio, and control applications where limited power is needed and plenum-rated cabling is required.

Standards:

• NEC (National Electrical Code) Article 725 for Power-Limited Circuits
• UL 910 for Plenum Cables, indicating compliance with fire-safety and smoke emission standards
• Other industry-specific certifications depending on the region and application requirements

Construction:

• Conductor: Made of bare copper, offering excellent electrical properties.
• Insulation: Each conductor is wrapped individually with aluminum foil which acts as a shield.
• Drain Wire: A tinned copper drain wire is included to help with grounding any interference captured by the shield.
• Jacket: The outer jacket is made of PVC, which is plenum-rated to emit low smoke and resist fire in HVAC spaces.
• Voltage Rating: Rated for 150V, suitable for low voltage power-limited circuits.

Features:

• Fire Safety: Meets rigorous standards for fire resistance, crucial in preventing the spread of flames in emergency situations.
• Low Smoke Emission: Produces very little smoke, maintaining visibility and reducing toxins during a fire, which is vital in plenum spaces.
• EMI Shielding: Provides substantial protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity across various applications.
• Flexible Installation: Designed to be flexible and easy to install in tight plenum spaces while maintaining durability and performance integrity.
