| Conductors: |
Solid alloy wire, matched and calibrated to ANSI
MC 96.1, standard limits of error, thermocouple extension grade. |
| Primary Insulation: |
PVC compound - rated as 105°C (221°F)
dry, 75°C (167°F) wet and -40°C (-40°F) for Type TW75-40 insulation |
| XLPE compound - rated as 105°C (221°F) dry, 90°C
(194°F) wet and -40°C (-40°F) for Type RW90-40 insulation |
| Conductor Assembly: |
Two conductors are twisted together to form a pair. The individually
shielded pairs have a finished lay of 64 mm (2.5 in). Unshielded
pairs have staggered lays to prevent electromagnetic interference
and cross talk |
| Individual Shielding: |
When specified pairs are shielded with 100% coverage aluminum/
polyester tape. The shielding tape is designed to provide total
shield isolation from all other shields |
| Thermocouple pairs are provided with a layer of clear polyester
tape under the shielding tape and have a solid tinned copper
drain wire. A stranded tinned copper drain wire is optional |
| Conductor Identification: |
The individual conductor insulation is colour
coded as per ANSI specifications for proper identification
of the ANSI cable type and distinction between the positive
and negative wires |
| Overall Shielding: |
Assembled pairs are overall shielded with 100% coverage aluminum/
polyester tape and a #20 AWG (0.519 mm²) seven strand
tinned copper drain wire |
| Jacket: |
90°C (194°F) to -40°C (-40°F) Fire Retardant
PVC for unarmoured cables |
| 90°C (194°F) to -40°C (-40°F) Fire Retardant
Low Acid Gas PVC for armoured cables |
| Thermocouple cable is coloured as per the ANSI colour corresponding
to the thermocouple alloy type contained in the construction.
The inner jacket under the armour is black. Other colours are
available upon request |
| Armouring (Optional): |
CSA certified interlocked aluminum or interlocked galvanized
steel armour is suitable for use in Hazardous Locations. In
Group B, C and D atmospheres, the individually shielded pairs
or triads may be extended through a sealing gland without removing
the shielding tape. These cables are marked HLBCD in accordance
with CSA C22.2 No. 174 |
| Zetabon® is a hermetically sealed aluminum barrier integral
with a bonded outer FR CPE jacket and is recommended for use
in direct burial applications. Please note that this armour
is not currently recognized by the CSA |
| Amour Outer Covering: |
90°C (194°F) to -40°C (-40°F) Fire Retardant
Low Acid Gas PVC |
| Thermocouple cable is coloured as per the ANSI
colour corresponding to the thermocouple alloy type contained
in the construction. Other colours are available upon request |
