600 Volt UL Type MC, XLP XHHW-2 Insulation

Specifications:

• Impervious Continuously Welded Armor - Control Cable
• 600 Volt UL Type MC, CT Use, 90°C
• XLP XHHW-2 Insulation
• Aluminum Armor
• Copper Conductors

Application:
For use in harsh environments where maximum conductor protection is required. Impervious armor prevents the entrance of water, gas and corrosive elements into the electrical core. Used for power, control and lighting circuits in a broad range of commercial and industrial pulp and paper, mining, and petroleum applications. Approved for use in wet or dry locations at 90°C, for installation indoors or outdoors, aerially, in conduits, ducts, cable trays or direct burial in circuits not exceeding 600 volts. May be used in NEC Class I and II, Division 2 and Class III, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations. UL approved for use at 90°C for continuous operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Impervious continuously welded corrugated armor cable is recommended as an economical alternative to wire in conduit systems.

Conductors:
Soft bare annealed copper per ASTM B-3, Class B stranding per ASTM B-8 (compressed) or ASTM B-496 (compact).

Insulation:
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) per ICEA S-95-658 and UL Standard 44 for Type XHHW-2 conductors.

Armor:
Impervious continuously welded and corrugated aluminum.

Jacket:
Black sunlight-resistant PVC
