CU 600V XLPE XHHW-2 ARMOR-X PVC Control Cable With Ground
Type MC-HL Control Cable 600Volt Copper Conductors, Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Insulation XHHW-2 Continuous Corrugated Welded Armor (Armor-X), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket with 1 Insulated Green CU Ground
Construction:
- Conductor:7 strands class B compressed copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
- Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) XHHW-2, 30 Mils thick for all cable sizes
- Grounding Conductor:Class B compressed stranded copper with green insulation
- Filler:Polypropylene filler on cables with 5 or less conductors
- Binder:Polyester flat thread binder tape applied for cables with more than 5 conductors
- Armor:Continuous Corrugated Welded Armor (Armor-X)
- Overall Jacket:Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket
Applications and Features:
Southwire's 600 Volt Type MC-HL Armor-X® control cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, aerial supported by a messenger, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation in wet and dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload, 250°C for short circuit conditions, and -50°C for cold bend. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501, 502, and 503.

† Ampacities are based on Table 310.16 of the NEC 2020 Edition. Ampacities of insulated conductors rated up to and including 2000 Volts with not more than three current-carrying conductors in raceway, cable or direct buried based on ambient temperature of 30ºC (86ºF). Ampacities have been adjusted for more than three current-carrying conductors based on Table 310.15(C) 1.
