Applications and Features:

Southwire 600V ECO Friendly No Lead EPR/PE Armored Underground Signal Cable is suited for use in vital railroad signal cir- cuit applications where crush resistance, termite and rodent protection, and secure service life are a concern. 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.

• Mechanically Rugged
• High Performance No Lead EPR
• Excellent Moisture Resistance
• Resistant to Heat Aging and Environmental Hazards
• Cleanly Strips from Conductor
• Superior Deformation Resistance
• Pull Chord Feature (P.C.F.) for ease of terminating and splicing
• RoHS/Proposition 65 Compliant
• Conductors Number Coded with One in Each layer Marked as “Tracer” for Quick Identification
