XHHW-2 Tray Cable Unshielded TYPE TC 90°C WET & DRY - 600V

XHHW-2 insulation combines strong electrical properties with resistance to heat and moisture.

Each conductor uses a concentric layer of crosslinked polyethylene designed for demanding electrical environments. The thermoset insulation maintains its physical and electrical characteristics under elevated temperatures and provides the moisture resistance associated with XHHW-2 construction, making it well suited to industrial control cable applications.

This category includes a wide range of multi-conductor configurations for different control-circuit requirements.

Available products include two-conductor designs as well as cables with substantially higher conductor counts. This allows a single cable construction to support applications ranging from simple control circuits to equipment requiring numerous conductors within one overall jacket. The appropriate conductor count depends on the number of circuits or control points that need to be carried.

The flat arrangement provides a practical construction for cables containing only two insulated conductors.

Rather than adding fillers simply to create a round shape, the two conductors can be positioned side by side within the overall jacket. Cables with three or more conductors are cabled together with fillers where needed to form the assembled core. This allows the cable geometry to reflect the conductor count rather than forcing every configuration into the same shape.

Each insulated conductor has passed the UL VW-1 vertical flame test.

VW-1 testing evaluates how an individual insulated wire responds when exposed to a controlled vertical flame. In this tray cable, the XHHW-2 insulated conductors each meet that flame-performance requirement, while the complete cable construction also meets the UL 1277 tray-cable flame test.

The PVC jacket protects the insulated conductor assembly from moisture, sunlight and physical wear.

The overall sheath is designed to meet UL Class-12 requirements and provides a protective layer around the cabled conductors, fillers and binder. Combined with the XHHW-2 insulation, the jacket helps create a cable construction suited to industrial installations where the cable may be exposed to challenging environmental and mechanical conditions.
