Technical Data

  • Cable Flame Test- A unique test standard whereby a Fire Propagation Index (FPI) is determined based upon a combination heat release and ignition test. The FPI is used to determine a 1, 2, or 3 Group rating. The lower Group ratings are the better performing cables.
  • Metric Conversion Chart AWG/Metric- This table gives closest equivalent size cross references between metric and American wire sizes
  • NEC & CSA signations- This table gives you the National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code which the CSA produces
  • Material Temperature Comparisons- The temperature ratings of wire and cable products are key operating parameters. The use of wire outside their design temperature range can result in failures in the wire
  • Thermoplastic Properties- Properties of thermoplastic materials for insulation and jacketing
  • Jacket & Thermoset Insulation Materials Comparison Chart-Based on the requirements, the best jacketing and insulating material for the application will be selected using this table. The selection may involve examination of many different performance properties.
