Applications and Features:

Southwire 600V ECO Friendly No Lead EPR/PE Armored Underground Vital Signal Cable is suited for use in vital transit circuit safety systems where crush resistance, termite and rodent protection, and secure service life are a concern. Cables are de- signed for use in underground duct below grade or direct burial applications. May be installed in wet or dry locations. These cables are capable of operating continuously at a conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions.
