Construction:

Conductor:Class B or C stranded soft-drawn bare copper per ASTM B3 and B8
Insulation:Twisted pair(s) with premium grade, lead-free, flame-retardant, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). See Table 4 for pair(s) numbers and colors.
ShieldAluminum foil shield
Jacket: Lead-free, flame-retardant, LS, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). See Table 5 for available jacket colors.

Applications and Features:

Intended for use in Fault Managed Power Systems (FMPS), remote powering, indoor Class 4 circuits per 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) article 726. For use, primarily, in Agriculture, Intelligent Buildings, and Wireless Densification. The power source (transmitter) for Class 4 circuits shall be supplied from a power source that has a voltage output of 450 volts (peak or DC) or less. The CL4Z cables are considered for outdoor use only and are not to be attached to or used within a building structure. Type CL4Z cables comply with the applicable requirements for CL4. The CMG cables can be installed in buildings according to NEC article 722.135 and table 722.135(B).
