14-25 Shielded VNTC Tray Cable Type TC-ER (THHN PVC 600V)

This 14 AWG, 25-conductor shielded VNTC (Vinyl Nylon Tray Cable) is a high-density, dual-rated Type TC-ER industrial cable. Engineered for massive signal consolidation in environments with heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI), the TC-ER (Exposed Run) rating allows the cable to transition from a tray to equipment without the need for protective conduit.

Key Features of 14-25 Shielded VNTC (TC-ER)

• Exposed Run (TC-ER) Rated: This cable has passed the rigorous UL 1277 crush and impact tests. Per NEC 336.10, it can be installed between a cable tray and the equipment it connects for distances up to 6 feet without continuous support or conduit, significantly lowering labor and material costs.

• 100% EMI/RFI Shielding: The overall aluminum foil-polyester tape shield, combined with a tinned copper drain wire, provides a total barrier against electrical noise. This ensures that up to 25 different signals can be transmitted in a single run without external interference.

• Superior Conductor Strength: 14 AWG stranded copper conductors provide excellent physical durability and electrical conductivity, making them ideal for heavy industrial pulls and long-distance signaling.

• Ruggedized Construction: Featuring THHN/THWN-2 conductors and a flame-retardant, sunlight-resistant PVC jacket, this cable is resistant to moisture, heat, and oils. It is approved for direct burial and use in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.

Common Applications

• Centralized Process Automation: Connecting main PLC cabinets to massive terminal blocks or remote motor control centers (MCCs).

• Power Plant Logic: Managing comprehensive telemetry, boiler monitoring, and generator status signaling in a single organized cable.

• Petrochemical & Refinery Control: Ideal for multi-point valve control and instrumentation in harsh, high-interference environments.

• Large-Scale Robotic Cells: Bundling feedback, power, and signal lines for high-conductor-count automated manufacturing systems.
