UL1277 Power and Control Tray Cable Type TC

Product Description

1 Applications:
Type TC Control Cable is for use in industrial power or control circuits where small diameter, flame retardant cables are desired. Primary installations include cable trays, raceways, and outdoor locations where supported by a messenger wire. Type TC is also listed for direct burial and for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations and Class 1 control circuits. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs ( TC-ER) per NEC 336.10. Conductors may be used at temperatures not to exceed 75° C in wet locations or 90° C in dry locations.
