ULTROL® 60+ Instrumentation Multi-Conductor Cable
The ULTROL® 60+ instrumentation cable is a 600 V multi-conductor cable with a thermoset, Class 1E-rated construction. It is specifically designed for both safety-related and non-safety-related applications in nuclear generating stations, particularly where flame retardancy and radiation resistance are essential. This cable is suitable for Class 1E monitoring, data recording, and transmitting information on low-energy circuits where shielding from external electrostatic interference is not necessary. It can be installed in trays, conduit, ducts, or through direct burial applications.
