Applications and Features:

Southwire Tray Cable is suitable for use in industrial power or control circuits. Primary installations include cable trays, raceways and outdoor locations where supported by a messenger. These constructions are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10. Type TC in sizes 8 AWG and larger is listed for direct burial and for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations and Class 1 Control circuits. This cable may be used at temperatures not to exceed 75°C in wet locations and 90°C in dry locations.
