Unshielded XPTC Tray Cable with Ground

Unshielded XPTC Tray Cable with Ground

Tray Cable

Tray cables are multi-purpose wires used across many industries. Applications include industrial power, lighting, control, instrumentation and signal circuits, and switching. It can be installed in conduits, ducts, raceways, and cable tray systems, and has indoor and outdoor uses. Cables marked with TC-ER can be used between cable trays and equipment or devices.

Our standard unshielded XPTC tray cable, with or without ground, features 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, alongside an optional bare copper or insulated green ground cable. The cabled core is then covered with an overall black, gas and oil-resistant PVC jacket.

Our tray cable performs well in industrial applications, including in Class 1 and 2, Division 2 hazardous locations. It is well suited for installation in cable trays, raceways, and conduit, and safely operates in wet and dry locations, indoors and outside, in temperatures from -25°C to 90°C.

Tray cables are suitable for many applications, including power, lighting control, and signaling. It’s also ideal for industrial applications, including oil and gas, wastewater treatment plants, pulp and paper, and electrical co-generation.

Standard Products

  • Sizes #12 through #2 AWG
  • NEMA WC 57/ICEA S-73-532 Table E-1, E-2, or M4 color codes
  • Custom color codes available upon request

KrisTech’s XPTC unshielded 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
  • IEEE 1202 FLAME RATED

  • 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.
  • 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.
