SCOPE

  This specification covers multi- conductor UL listed Type TC cable consisting of stranded, uncoated annealed copper which is insulated with a flame retardant polymer and nylon jacket, cabled together with fillers, as required, utilizing a mylar tape wrap and jacketed overall with a black low temperature, flame resistant, VW-1 neoprene.  LTN cables conform to UL Type power and control tray cables and Articles 318, 340, 500, and 501 of the National Electrical Code.  Cables pass UL 1277, IEEE 383 70, 000 BTU and 210, 000 BTU « Cable Tray Propagation Test, » IEEE 1202 flame test and CSA FT4 flame test.  Cables are rated 600 volts, 90ºC dry and 75ºC wet.  UL file no. E60749. 

 

APPLICATIONS

 UL listed and OSHA acceptable.  Recognized for use in Class 1 or 2, Division 2 hazardous locations.  To be used with messenger supported    

trays, raceways, troughs, channels, ducts, conduit, and for direct burial.  Recommended for wet or dry locations and outdoor in cable trays where a sunlight resistant rating is required.  Designed for control, power, lighting, telemetering, signal, relay traffic control, whereever flexible, small diameter cable is required such as cranes, hoists, and robotics.  Cables can be flexed at      -40ºC.

 

CONSTRUCTION

 Conductors :  Bare, soft annealed copper per ASTM B-3.

Insulation :  Each conductor is concentrically insulated with a 15 mil wall of high dielectric flame retardant polymer with 5 mil wall of clear polyamide (nylon) jacket extruded over primary insulation and conforming to UL requirements.

 Cabling :  The applicable number of conductors are cabled together with fillers as necessary with a suitable lay.  A clear mylar tape is helically applied over the core. 

Overall Jacket :

 Gas/vapor-tight heavy duty, flame and oil resistant neoprene (black).

UL-1277 table 10.1   

ICEA S-68-516 part 4 paragraph 4.4.3, Thickness : specified herein .

Colour coding :

 ICEA Method      1 Table K-2, except colours and numbers are printed on solid base colours for easy identification.  (See table 3 in « Colour Code» section page 38). 

 

Cable identification :

   Ink print on one side of jacket.  « LTN (size) AWG Type TC 90ºC wet, sun resistant, 600 volts Dir. Bur. (UL)-- --FT4.»        

Ink print on other side of jacket.

« (number of conductors and sequential footage )».

 

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

 Consult factory for cable speci- fications with alternative stranding and/or appropriate shields (aluminum/polyester tape, tinned- copper braid).
