| Northwire Unveils ITC/PLTC Cable for Exposed Run Northwire has introduced its line of Northwire ITC, custom-configured ITC/PLTC cable for use in industrial control and instrumentation circuit applications. Three of the six new product platforms being introduced are exposed-run rated. The cable, now available from Northwire Direct is customizable in virtually endless options to fit customer specifications, including paired or triad instrument cable, non-paired control cable, with or without ground wires, insulation and shield options, and conductor color options. Northwire ITC/PLTC cable is designed for applications of 150 volts or less with a maximum current of 5 amps that connect to modern low-power sensors, instruments and other control components. Installations using exposed-run-rated ITC cable do not require conduit and are therefore less expensive and faster to install. Northwire ITC cables are approved for use in Class 1, Div. 2 hazardous areas. Northwire's aluminum-armored ITC-GP cable is suitable for Div. 1 areas. Northwire ITC/PLTC cable product classes include: • ITC-GP (General Purpose) for lowest-cost applications or aluminum-armor option. • ITC-GP(ER) (General Purpose/Exposed Run), exposed-run, rated for indoor applications with lower installation costs. • ITC-RS (Rugged Service) tougher TPE-jacketed cable for manufacturing environments with weld flash or oil-cutting fluids, and where abrasion resistance is required. • ITC-RS(ER) (Rugged Service/Exposed Run) tougher TPE-jacketed cable as above, for exposed run. • ITC-DB(ER) (Direct Burial/Exposed Run) for outdoor use and in direct-burial applications where maximum crush resistance is needed along with exposed run rating. • ITC-EXTREME for applications in extreme environments with very low temperatures or unsurpassed cut resistance or oil resistance. Northwire UL-approved cable is appropriate for all plant instrument and control wiring needs. Northwire also produces portable power cordage and tray cable for distributing power within plant facilities. Northwire ITC cable is UL listed ITC per NEC article 727 and PLTC per NEC article 725, and AWM; also CSA listed AWM I/II, A/B, (FT-4); CSA-recognized CMX-OUTDOOR-CMG. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
