CORFLEX® MC-HL / VFD

Multi-conductor 14 AWG to 10 AWG: Multiple conductors and composites, with ground
wire(s), 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: Cross linked polyethylene type XHHW-2 per UL 44.

Assembly: Conductors are cabled in concentric layers with or without grounding wire
(s), interstices are filled with suitable non-hygroscopic fillers, as required. A binder tape of synthetic material assembles the core in an essentially round configuration.

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, 90ºC temperature rating;
low gas emission; limited flame spread and excellent corrosion resistance.
