Multiconductor Signal Control Tray Cables

Standard CL2 Cables
NEC 725 Tray Cables
Cabled Singles (NL Series)
National Wire & Cable Corporation manufactures a complete line of DUAL-RATED
multiconductor NEC TRAY CABLE Type CL2, for signal, instrumentation and control
uses. Also UL rated for use as 300 Volt Appliance Wiring Material (AWM). These are
available as cables singles or pairs, with optional overall shield of aluminum-Mylar foil
with drain wire.
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.
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
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.
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.
