Description

Standards

Product

UL 1277; UL 66; UL 83

Application

Light duty cable used as a service cord for connection of portable tools and extension of appliances, in open installations and portable extensions with terminals. It can be used as a control cable where electrostatic shielding is not required.

Suitable for low voltage electrical power distribution, to be installed in sumps, installation in ducts and gutters, connection of boards and wiring in industrial or commercial buildings, for direct burial with light traffic, for installations in cable trays in dry, moisture, wet environments and outdoors. It can be used as a feeder cable for submersible pumps in water.

Construction

Conductor

Extra-flexible soft copper conductors.

Insulation

Thermoplastic compound in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), flame retardant, fire retardant (FR), resistant to abrasion, heat and dry, moisture and wet environments. Compound free of hazardous substances (RoHS).

Individual Jacket

A Nylon cover resistant to contact with oils and petroleum derivatives such as gasoline is applied over the insulation.

Overall Jacket

External cover with thermoplastic compound in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), flame retardant, resistant to abrasion, moisture, impact (ER), sunlight resistant (SR). Compound free of hazardous substances (RoHS).
