Prysmian’s Low Voltage AIRGUARD Control Cables are primarily designed for applications in the harsh environments found in the heavy industrial and offshore markets. Its rugged polymeric AIRBAG armor and chemical barrier protection package makes it the ideal cable choice for tough installation and environmental conditions. AIRGUARD provides the solution to the deficiencies often encountered with MC-HL cables including armor breakage encountered during installation and in applications requiring recurring bending after installation, as well as poor performance in areas of high vibration (e.g. motor connections). It also provides a safer and lower installed cost alternative to MC-HL cables due to faster, “No Knife/ No Saw” cable preparation, and substantially reduced cost of cable glands.

Conductor: Class B stranded bare, soft drawn copper circuit conductors

Insulation: 90oC Heat and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) meeting the requirements of UL-44 for Type XHHW-2 conductors for wet or dry locations

Fillers: Extruded filler belt

Polymeric Armor/Environmental Barrier: Foamed polymeric AIRBAG™ layer affords superior mechanical and environmental protection of the cable core

Outer Sheath: Heat, moisture, hydrocarbon, and sunlight resistant thermoplastic
