Variable-Frequency Drive Motor Cable
This cable is used in variable-frequency drive motors. It has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference caused by voltage fluctuations and current spikes. The industry designation is WTTC, so it can be installed in cable trays or raceway in a wind turbine generator. It’s flame rated FT4 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with material mounted to a vertical tray. The insulation resists oil.
Cable with power wires sends electricity to run a motor. Cable with power and signal wires has an individually shielded pair of wires that connect to a brake or temperature sensor, reducing the number of cables used in areas with limited space.
Cable with an uninsulated ground wire has an additional uninsulated ground wire you can use to ground the cable’s foil shielding. Also known as a drain wire, it isn’t counted in the cable’s number of wires. MSHA accepted cable meets Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards for material quality.

- Use For: Buildings, Outdoors
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 220° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Fiber; PVC Plastic
Inner: PVC Plastic
Keep water from damaging wires—this cable has a layer of absorbent material that traps moisture before it reaches the internal wires. Use it in washdown areas, indoor/outdoor transitions, and direct burial without conduit. It sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment.
Riser-Rated Communication and Security System Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Buildings
Shielded: Buildings, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 140° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
This cable is designated CL3R and CMR, so it has flame-resistant insulation and is approved for use in low-current circuits in vertical shafts and large facilities with multiple levels. It’s often used in intercoms, speakers, and security systems.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires.

Duct-Rated Communication and Security System Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Buildings
Shielded: Buildings, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 165° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Also known as plenum cable, this cable is designated CL3P and CMP, so it has flame-resistant, low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. Use it in low-current circuits such as intercoms, speakers, and security systems.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.
