Applications
As flame-retardant multi-conductor control, signal or power cables rated 600 volts, 90 ºC in wet or dry locations. Specifically approved for installation in cable trays per Article 336 of the NEC. Also approved for use in Class I remote-control and signaling circuits per Article 725 of the NEC. Type TC cable is suitable for use in Class I and II, Division 2 hazardous locations. Cables may be installed in air, in ducts or conduits, in tray or trough, and are suitable for direct burial.

Construction
Stranded uncoated copper conductors, 30 mils FR-XLPE flame-retardant crosslinked polyethylene insulation, color coded, two conductors flat, three or more conductors twisted with suitable fillers where necessary to make round, cable tape, CPE jacket overall, surface printed.

Standards
  • Listed by UL as Type TC per Standard 1277 for Tray Cables.
  • Cables UL listed for Direct Burial.
  • Individual conductors pass UL VW-1 flame test.
  • Individual conductors UL listed as Type XHHW-2.
  • Overall jacket UL listed as Sunlight Resistant.
  • Cables with grounding conductor UL listed for Open Wiring.
  • Cables pass IEEE-383 ribbon burner flame test and ICEA 210,000 BTU/hour test.
  • Cables pass IEEE1202/CSA FT4 (70,000 BTU/hr) cable tray flame test.
  • Cables meet requirements of ICEA S-73-532, NEMA WC70 for Control Cables.
Notes
  • Cables may be supplied with an insulated ground and marked "Open Wiring."
  • Standard color coding is Method 1 for NEC applications per Appendix E, Table E-2 of ICEA S-73-532(TECH I006). This color coding method omits white and green from the color sequence. A white or green conductor can be supplied on request.
  • Color Coding also available ICEA Method 1, Table E-1; power sizes, ICEA Method 4.
Options
