ULTROL® 60+ Instrumentation Individually Shielded Pairs or Triads Overall Shield Cable
ULTROL® 60+ instrumentation cable is a 600 V multi-conductor cable with a thermoset, Class 1E-rated construction. It is specifically designed for use in safety-related and non-safety-related applications within nuclear generating stations, where flame retardancy and radiation resistance are essential. This cable is intended for critical circuits that require total isolation between pairs or triads and from external interference. It can be installed in trays, conduits, ducts, or directly buried in the ground.
