TC Tray Cable FR-XLPE/PVC | UL 1277 Certified | 90°C Direct Burial & Hazardous Locations-Picture1

Product Overview

TC Tray Cable FR-XLPE/PVC is a high-performance power and control cable designed for versatile industrial and commercial applications. Featuring flame-retardant XLPE insulation, sunlight-resistant PVC jacket, and ASTM-compliant copper conductors, this cable meets UL 1277 (TC/TC-ER), UL 44, and NEC standards for use in cable trays, direct burial, and hazardous locations. Rated for 600V and 90°C operation in wet/dry environments, it combines durability, safety, and compliance with critical flame and chemical resistance.

Key Features

  • Hazardous Location Rated: Approved for Class I, Division 2 areas (NEC compliant).

  • Dual Environmental Resistance: UV, weather, abrasion, and chemical-resistant construction.

  • Flame Retardancy: Passes UL 1581/UL 2556 VW-1 flame tests for vertical flame resistance.

  • Direct Burial Capable: Suitable for underground installations without additional conduit.

  • Exposed Run (ER) Rated: UL 1277 TC-ER certified for exposed tray applications.
