12TR16(7)TYPEMC TFN HL600VSTOS

Single or multiple individually shielded pairs or triads, overall cable shield, PVC inner
jacket, continuous corrugated aluminum sheath, PVC jacket

Construction

Conductor: Bare, annealed copper conforming to ASTM B3 and Class B stranded in
accordance with ASTM B8.

Insulation: PVC/Nylon type TFN in accordance with UL 66, flame retardant, 90°C
temperature rating.

Insulation shield: Aluminum foil/polyester shield helically wrapped to provide 100%
coverage and tinned copper drain wire that is two gauge sizes smaller than the circuit
conductors.

Assembly: Pairs/triads are cabled in concentric layers with interstices filled with
suitable non-hygroscopic fillers, as required. A binder tape of synthetic material
assembles the core in an essentially round configuration.

Overall cable shield: Aluminum foil/polyester shield helically wrapped to provide 100% coverage and tinned copper drain wire that is the same size as the circuit conductors.

Inner jacket: Polyvinyl chloride jacket, over cabled core as per UL 1569, 90°C temperature rating, with additional resistance to fire spread. A rip cord is laid longitudinally under the jacket to facilitate stripping.

Armor: Continuous corrugated aluminum sheath with no more than 0.2% trace copper providing complete protection against liquid & gas ingress. It also provides excellent mechanical protection, additional electrostatic shielding, and serves as an easy means of grounding equipment.

Jacket: Overall black polyvinyl chloride jacket per UL 1569, 90°C temperature rating;
low gas emission; limited flame spread and excellent corrosion resistance.

Identification of Conductors
