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

* Ampacities based upon 2021 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CEC) Table 2 and do not take into account the overcurrent protection limitations in CEC Rule 14-104(2) of 15 Amps for 14 AWG CU, 20 Amps for 12 AWG CU, and 30 Amps for 10 AWG CU (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding). Also, see CEC Rules 4-004 and 4-006 for additional requirements.”
* Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing.
TBA stock codes are estimations only and actual product may vary. Please wait until a stock code is assigned to purchase connectors and/or fittings.
