Application:
For use as a 600 Volt, multi-pair thermocouple instrumentation cable where flame-retardance, and moisture/chemical resistance is critical. Cable can be installed in free air, in raceways, or direct burial. The cable is also approved for wet or dry locations as well as Class 1 Division II industrial hazardous locations per NEC 501-4(b) for (UL) Type Tray Cables (TC).
Temperature rating of 90^oC wet or dry. Insulation provides excellent electrical, thermal, and physical properties, excellent flame resistance and resistant to crush, compression, cuts and heat deformation. Also conductor insulation provides good low temperature (-40^oC) cold bend characteristics.
Approved for direct burial.

Construction:

• Conductor is thermocouple alloy per ANSI MC96.1 - 1982.

• Extruded flame-retardant ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation.

• Conductors twisted together with a drain wire and aluminum mylar shield. Shielded pairs cabled together with fillers as needed to form a round core. An overall aluminum mylar shield and drain wire is applied over the core.

• Pairs are color coded per thermocouple type with pair number printed on the negative (red) conductor. See chart below for specific color codes.

• Black, flame-retardant, sunlight resistant, Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket. Available with color coded jacket.

• Available with class B stranding per ASTM B174.
