3 Introduction Nexans brings energy to life through an extensive range of cables and cabling solutions that deliver impeccable performance for our customers worldwide. With more than a century of experience in cable manufacturing, you can rely on the quality of Nexans products. Our teams are committed to a partnership approach that supports customers in four main business areas: Power transmission and distribution (Submarine and Land), Energy resources (Oil & Gas, Mining and Renewables), Transportation (Road, Rail, Air, Sea) and Building (Commercial, Residential, Industrial and Data Centers). Nexans strategy is founded on continuous innovation in products, solutions and services, employee development, customer training and the introduction of safe, low-environmental-impact industrial processes. In 2013, Nexans became the first cable manufacturer to create a Foundation to introduce sustained initiatives for access to energy for disadvantaged communities worldwide. This catalog has been prepared for the convenience of those using electrical conductors in industrial applications. The information included in the many tabulations will be of particular value to the architect, engineer, electrician, and layperson alike. For your convenience, we have referenced applicable Articles and Tables from the NEC. All the cables in this catalog are LEAD FREE. This indicates that the Nexans cable components have less than 300 ppm of lead, which is well below the 1000 ppm level indicated in RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) regulations and below the level requiring labeling by California Proposition #65. 2

These cables may be installed in wet or dry locations; in cable trays, raceways and open air; and are suitable for exposure to weather, direct burial and for Class I, Div. 2 (also Zone 2) and Class II, Div. 2 hazardous locations per NEC. Cables with 3 or more conductors are UL listed for exposed runs (ER) when installed in accordance with NEC Article (7). Construction Conductor: bare, annealed copper conforming to ASTM B3 and Class B stranded in accordance to ASTM B8, from 18 AWG to 500 kcmil. Compressed copper for 14 AWG through 500 kcmil. Insulation: flame-retardant PVC/Nylon type THHN/THWN-2 per UL 83 for sizes 14 AWG to 500 kcmil and type TFN per UL 66 for 18 AWG and 16 AWG. Assembly : Non-shielded: cables with 3 or more conductors are cabled in concentric layers with interstices filled with suitable fillers, as required. Two-conductor cables are supplied in a flat/parallel configuration. Ground wires are sized as required by UL 1277 (refer to the applicable product tables for the standard sizes provided). Sizes 14 AWG to 6 AWG have an insulated green ground wire. Sizes 4 AWG and larger have a bare ground wire. Where necessary, a binder tape of synthetic material assembles the core in a tight circular configuration. Shielded: cabled in concentric layers with interstices filled with suitable fillers as required. A helically wrapped aluminum tape, with synthetic backing, gives 100% shielding. A tinned copper drain wire is placed in contact with the aluminum side of the tape, to lower the resistance and to assist in the termination of the shield. Jacket: UL listed sunlight and moisture resistant, black, flame retardant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material meeting the requirements of. A Nylon ripcord is included for ease of jacket removal. Jacket surface is printed with required UL / NEC code information and sequential footage markings.
