SPEC 25309
AL ARMOR CSA AC90 600V
Copper Conductors 600 Volts T90 PVC / Nylon Type AC90
Construction:
- Conductor:Solid copper per ASTM B3
- Insulation:All phases are insulated with Polyvinyl Chloride with Nylon Sheath Type T90 Nylon
- Signal:16 AWG Copper Insulated Singles Pink, Purple. Overall light blue jacket over the signal cables
- Binder:Polypropylene tape
- Bond Wire:Solid copper
- Armor:Aluminum Interlocked Armor
Applications and Features:
Southwire's new ACIC-PCS DUO™ Cable is ideal for use with LED or fluorescent dimming controls in multi-residential and SMART buildings. ACIC-PCS DUO™ Cable combines power conductors along with Control/Signal applications all under one armor, saving you time and money. ACIC-PCS DUO™ cables are also designed for exposed and concealed wiring such as ventilated cable trays and other dry locations, where the maximum conductor temperature will not exceed 90°C. Minimum recommended installation temperature: -10°C (with suitable handling procedures).
Reduces installation costs when compared to pulling separate power and control/signal/data cables All cables under one armor decreases the likelihood of damage - eliminating costly callbacks for troubleshooting and repair Yellow Stripe Identification - for easy identification when installed with other cables CSA 90°C Max. Insulation Temperature rating CSA -25°C Cold Temperature Rating CSA -10°C Minimum recommended cold Installation Temperature Class - C572101 - Control Cables CSA Certification File: LL90458 - Certified as ACIC for Control and Instrumentation
