American Standard UL Industrial Cables
XHHW/CPE, 600V, Type TC Control Cable

Application and Description

XHHW/CPE type TC Control Cable is for use in industrial power or control circuits where small diameter, flame retardant cables are desired. Primary installations include cable trays, raceways, and outdoor locations where supported by a messenger wire. Type TC Control Cable is also listed for direct burial and for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations and Class 1 control circuits. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10.Conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C.

Cable Construction

Conductor: Stranded bare annealed copper, available in size AWG14, 12, 10(Type XHHW-2)

Insulation: Flame-retardant and moisture resistant Cross-Linked Polyethylene (FRXLPE)

Jacket: Flame retardant, moisture and sunlight resistant CPE (PVC/LSOH is available upon request)
Color: upon request, black is preferable
