Cables are for antenna and tower runs with high-power APs, telecommunications, factory automation, crypto rigs, field repair, and DC Defender products.

HAYDEN, Idaho – Transtector Systems, an Infinite Electronics brand in Hayden, Idaho, is introducing the exposed-run TC-ER-rated tray cable for use in extreme heat and moisture. The cable comes in bulk reels so installers can determine length requirements in the field.

The outdoor-capable power cable comes in shielded and unshielded versions. The shielded version has conductive material to protect signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from nearby power lines, motors, electronic devices, wireless signals, and nearby cables.

The high-reliability cables are designed for use with antenna and tower runs with high-power APs, telecom, factory automation, crypto rigs, field repair, and DC Defender products. They can be used for DC power, building wiring, and anything industrial with terminal-block power.

This 600-volt power cable protects signals from water, UV rays and high heat. The cable's thermoplastic heat and water-resistant nylon-coated (THWN) and thermoplastic high-heat-resistant (THHN) jacket is suitable for wet and dry locations.

The cable also is grounded, and provides a path for induced currents to flow away harmlessly without affecting the internal signals. Both versions of the power cable satisfy several UL ratings and a VW-1 burn rating, have a wide temperature range, and are available in several wire gauges and conductor counts.

The 600-volt tray cable comes in 10 American Wire Gauge (AWG), 12 AWG, and 14 AWG; each gauge offers a choice between two or three conductors.

The PVC-clad cable has also passed a VW-1 flame test and carries a "fire-resistant" designation. It operates in temperatures from -40 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. For more information contact Transtector Systems online at www.transtector.com.
