Power-Limited Tray Cable (PLTC), which is a type of industrial cable used in control, instrumentation, and communication systems. Here’s a breakdown of its uses and applications:
Cable Use / Application
Industrial Control Systems>
- Used to transmit control signals between devices like PLCs (programmable logic controllers), sensors, and actuators.
Factory and Plant Automation>
- Common in automated manufacturing environments to connect machinery and control panels.
Power-Limited Applications>
- As a PLTC (Power-Limited Tray Cable) certified under UL 13, it is designed for circuits that carry low-power signals, not high-voltage power.
Cable Trays>
- Specifically designed to be installed in cable trays, raceways, or ducts, making it ideal for structured cabling in commercial and industrial buildings.
Cable Construction and Materials>
- 1x2x22 + 1x22 AWG:>
- 1 pair of 22 AWG twisted conductors + 1 single 22 AWG wire (likely a drain or shield ground).
- PEHD (High-Density Polyethylene) insulation:>
- Excellent for abrasion resistance, moisture resistance, and mechanical strength.
Safety & Certification>
- UL 13 - PLTC:>
- Certified for safe use in power-limited circuits.
- Flame-retardant and compliant with National Electrical Code (NEC) for tray cable use.
