Construction:

Conductors:

Single conductors are available in solid or stranded and annealed or hardened configurations. Tin coated copper conductors are also available.

Insulation:

Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene) that is FV-1 flame and “Oil and Gasoline Resistant I” rated. An optional VW-1 flame rating is available on request.

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.

Identification and Packaging:

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 2500 feet.
