Cable Tray Wire

Cable tray wires are protected by a plastic jacket or metal armor over individual conductors. They can be rated for indoor, outdoor, corrosive areas, hazardous locations or high electrical noise areas. Many cable tray wires pass stringent crush and impact tests per 1569 and should be UL listed indicating that they have been tested for ratings relative to mechanical resistance, flammability resistance and temperature limitations.
Type TC TFN shielded tray cables are used in 600 V applications for process and control signals. The shielding protects the signal from electrostatic noise. The cables are moisture resistant and can be installed in trays, ducts, conduit or direct buried. They are rated Class1, Div 2 for hazardous locations and meet current NEC guidelines and are verified by UL.
Type PLTC (Power Limited Tray Cable) cables are used in 300 V applications. They can be routed in the same tray as 600 V power and control tray cables when separated by a divider. Type ITC (Instrument Tray Cable) cables are the most common type of PLTC cable. They are used in 300 V direct burial applications.
