Description:
Red Alert® Type MC - FPLP Cable is constructed with soft-drawn copper conductors and insulated with flame-retardant and heat-resistant PVC with an outer oil- and gasoline-resistant nylon jacket. Type THHN/THWN conductors are provided for sizes 14 AWG and 12 AWG cables; Type TFN conductors are provided for sizes 18 AWG and 16 AWG cables. The circuit conductors and a green insulated grounding conductor are cabled together and a polypropylene
tape is wrapped around the assembly. Upon request, an optional Film/Foil Aluminum Laminate Shielding Tape with a tinned copper drain wire/grounding conductor is wrapped over the conductor assembly. Aluminum interlocking armor Red in color is applied over the assembly. Multiple twisted (cabled) conductor pairs/groups with optional shield(s) are available. The cable is dual rated as 90°C dry, 600 Volt Type MC and 105°C dry, 300 Volt Type FPLP cable.
