Shielded XPTC Tray Cable with Ground
Tray cables are multi-purpose wires with many applications, including industrial power, lighting, control, instrumentation and signal circuits, and switching. This wire works well in conduits, ducts, raceways, and cable tray systems, is direct burial rated, and has indoor and outdoor applications. Cables marked with TC-ER can be used between cable trays and equipment or devices.
Feature Quick View:
KrisTech’s shielded XPTC tray cable, with or without ground, uses stranded copper conductors insulated with moisture and heat-resistant crosslinked polyethylene (type XHHW-2). Each phase is identified and cabled together with fillers and/or binders as required, along with an optional bare copper or insulated green ground wire.
The cabled core is covered with an aluminum-mylar shield and a tinned copper drain wire, then covered with an overall black, gas and oil-resistant PVC jacket.
Our 600 V rated shielded XPTC tray cable is designed for industrial applications, including Class 1 and 2, Division 2 hazardous locations. It’s safe to install in cable trays, raceways, or conduit, is direct burial rated, and can be deployed in wet or dry locations, indoors and outdoors, in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 90°C.
This tray cable is IEEE 1202 flame rated and has many uses in the industrial space, including oil and gas, wastewater treatment plants, pulp and paper, and electrical co-generation. It also works well for power, lighting control, or signaling.
Standard Products

KrisTech’s shielded XPTC tray cable meets the following standards and tests, including:
- UL 1277
- ICEA S-73-532 / NEMA WC 57
- ICEA S-95-658 / NEMA WC 70
- Conductors – Single conductors are solid or stranded and annealed or hardened uncoated copper. Tinned conductors and other stranded configurations are available upon request.
- Insulation – Single conductors are insulated with concentrically applied XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene) insulation that is VW-1 flame and “Oil and Gasoline Resistant I” rated. All black insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant.” All colored insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant” in sizes #6 AWG and larger, and optional in sizes #8 AWG and smaller.
- Ground Conductor – Single bare copper conductor or insulated green XLPE conductor.
- Shield – The assembly is lined with an optional tinned copper drain wire and then wrapped with an Aluminum-Mylar shielding.
- Jacket – The assembly is jacketed with a concentrically applied PVC jacket. Overall cable profile will be similar to the interior conductor assembly layout.
Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, UL symbol (if applicable) and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or 2,500 feet.
