16 AWG - Multi-Conductor - 600V - Stranded Conductor - Unshielded - VNTC Tray Cable
VNTC tray cable is a sturdy and adaptable cable suitable for transmitting power, control, relay or other types of signals in wet, dry or hazardous environments. It is most commonly used for power and control, telemetering, relay control, traffic control, switching, lighting and signal transmission. It is the preferred cable for factory or commercial applications.
VNTC tray cable can be installed in various types of conduit, ducts, raceways, and cable tray systems. It is flame retardant, sunlight resistant, burial rated, chemical and oil resistant and can be used in hazardous environments. It is rated to transmit 600v and has a temperature rating of 167° for wet applications and 194° in dry applications. It is also great for cold weather installations, being rated for both cold bend and cold impact resistance.
VNTC tray cable is a rugged cable used for wiring your mission-critical equipment, machinery, and systems.

Technical Specs
- CONDUCTORS: Class B stranded bare copper per UL 83 and 62.
- INSULATION: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) per UL 62 for Type TFFN (18-16 AWG) or UL 83 for Type THWN or THHN wire. Average thickness is 15 mils for sizes 18-12 AWG and 20 mils for 10 AWG.
- INSULATION JACKET: Each insulated conductor is jacketed with nylon meeting UL 62 for Type TFFN or UL 83 for Type THWN or THHN wire. Minimum thickness is 4 mils.
- COLOR CODE: ICEA Method 1, Table E-2 (formerly K-2).
- ASSEMBLY: Conductors are cabled with fillers where necessary to make round. Two conductor cables are flat.
- OVERALL JACKET: Sunlight resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) per UL 1277.
- STANDARDS: Tested per UL requirements for Type TC cables having THWN or THHN (TFFN) conductors. Cables are listed for direct burial and meet the IEEE 1202, UL 1277 and ICEA 70,000 BTU Flame Tests. Three conductor and larger constructions meet UL 1277 requirements for Exposed Runs and are rated Type TC- ER (Tray Cable, Exposed Runs)
- AMPACITY: Based on not more than three conductors in raceway or cable or earth with an ambient temperature of 30C per NEC 310-16.
- TEMPERATURE: 90C
- VOLTAGE: 600V
**May be used in Class I, Div. 2 and Class II, Div. 2 Hazardous Locations per NEC Art. 501 and 502. These cables also conform to Art. 392 "Cable Trays" and Art 336 "Power and Control Tray Cable." **
