Multi-Standard UL/CSA 2XAWG18

Benefits

• Wide application range due to multiple certifications
• Cost-saving, easy installation due to omission of closed raceways (suitable for open wiring)

Application range

• Control and signal cables for internal and external wiring
• For the North American market
• On the basis of CMG, PLTC or ITC direct laying on cable tray in the USA, in conjunction with -ER (Exposed Run) for unprotected transition sections with a length of not more than 6 ft. each
• Thanks to the DIRECT BURIAL approval, direct burial of versions with the nominal conductor cross sections 18 AWG and 16 AWG is normatively permitted in the USA
• Torsion resistant up to ±150 °/m for the drip loop of wind turbine generators

Product features

• Oil-resistant according to UL OIL RES I
• Suitable for torsional applications which are typical for the loop in wind turbine generators (WTG)
