Standard CL2 Cables
NEC 725 Tray Cables
Twisted Pairs (NLP Series)
Cabled conductors use stranded tinned copper wire with 0.010” wall of tough extruded poly-vinyl-chloride (PVC) insulation, rated for 300 Volt use under U.L. Style 2464.
All wires are color coded using 10 standard solid colors plus white with stripes. Cables singles are color coded the same as our NQ and NX cable families per MIL-STD-681. Cabled pairs are color coded the same as our NQP and NXP cable families.
Conductors are helically cabled and laid for optimum flexiblility, with a Mylar tape barrier wrap (or Mylar + Foil) applied between cabled wire bundle and outer jacket.
Shielded cables have an overall Aluminum-Mylar foil shielding tape helically wrapped over cable and a tinned uninsulated drain wire for shield connection. (Use FSJ part Number suffix.) For optional composite tinned copper CFI braid(s) + foil shielding, consult factory.
Outer jacket is a special highly flexible abrasion-resistant gray polyvinylchloride (PVC) thermoplastic. DUAL-RATED jacket compound meets the requirements of both U.L. AWM Style 2464 and U.L. 13 Type CL2 TRAY CABLE. Jacket is surface printed with both UL AWM 2464 and U.L. 13 Type CL2 TRAY CABLE identifiers. Jacket wall thickness is .032” nom.
Finished cables comply with applicable U.L. tests for N.E.C. Type CL2 TRAY CABLE
Vertical Tray Flame Spread. All materials are flame-spread retardant and fungus
resistant. The products are DUAL-RATED for AWM use as U.L. Style 2464 300 Volt,
80°C, OR for U.L. 13 Type CL2 TRAY CABLE 105°C use.
