APPLICATION
Type TC Control Cable is for use in industrial power or control circuits where small diameter, flame retardant cables are desired. Primary installations include cable trays, raceways, and outdoor locations where supported by a messenger wire. Type TC is also listed for direct burial and for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations and Class 1 control circuits. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10. Conductors may be used at temperatures not to exceed 75°C in wet locations or 90°C in dry locations.
Power Tray Cable Applications
- Signal, control, power, lighting, or communication
- Installation in raceways, direct burial, or outdoors (sunlight resistant)
- Suitable for wet or dry locations, and in the presence of oil and most chemicals in accordance with NEC
- Acceptable for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations

Type TC Power Cable is manufactured using Type XHHW-2 conductors. Individual conductors are bare annealed copper covered with a flame retardant cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation. Flame retardant wax paper fillers are added for roundness and a string binder is applied over the core assembly. The overall jacket consists of a flame retardant, moisture and sunlight resistant CPE jacket. PVC and Non-halogen jackets available upon request.
Type TC Control Cable is available in sizes 16 AWG through 10 AWG, with multiconductor constructions of two through 37 conductors. The product uses Type THHN or THWN conductors in sizes 14 AWG through 10 AWG and Type TFFN conductors is size 16 AWG. Individual conductors are bare annealed copper covered with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation over which a nylon (polyamide) or UL listed equal jacket is applied. The overall jacket consists of a heat, moisture and sunlight resistant PVC. Non-halogen jacket available upon request.
