FREP/CPE Instrumentation Cable - Shielded Pairs

INDUSTRIAL TRAY CABLE
600 Volts, 90°C Wet or Dry

---

Conductor:	Tinned, annealed copper per ASTM B33. Class B stranding per ASTM B8.
Sizes:	#18 AWG – #16 AWG
Insulation:	Extruded flame-retardant ethylene propylene rubber (EPR).
Pair:	Conductors twisted together with a drain wire and aluminum mylar shield.
Cable:	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.
Color Code:	Pairs are black & white with pair number printed on the white conductor.
Jacket:	Flame-retardant, sunlight resistant, ER rated Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE).
Options:	Available with class K stranding per ASTM B174. Available with class H stranding per ASTM B173. Available with bare copper conductors.

For use as a 600 volt, multi pair 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°C 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°C) cold bend characteristics.
