14-2 Shielded VNTC Tray Cable Type TC-ER, THHN PVC 600V (Black, White)

This 14 AWG, 2-conductor shielded VNTC (Vinyl Nylon Tray Cable) is a high-performance industrial cable designed for control and power applications requiring robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Featuring a 100% foil shield and stranded copper conductors, it is ideal for circuits that must maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.

Key Features of 14-2 Shielded VNTC

• Total Signal Integrity: The overall aluminum foil-polyester tape shield provides 100% coverage, paired with a tinned copper drain wire to effectively ground out EMI and RFI from surrounding equipment.

• Rugged Conductor Insulation: Utilizing THHN/THWN-2 conductors with a PVC base and a tough nylon skin, the cable is resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and moisture.

• Environmental Resistance: The outer PVC jacket is sunlight-resistant and flame-retardant, making it suitable for industrial cable trays and raceways.

• Industrial Compliance: Rated for 600V and 90°C (dry), this cable is approved for use in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC guidelines.

Common Applications

• Industrial Control Loops: Ideal for 24V or 120V control signals between PLC cabinets and field devices where noise suppression is required.

• Instrumentation & Telemetry: Used to transmit sensitive data signals in power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities.

• Small Equipment Power: Providing shielded power to fans, actuators, or solenoids that are positioned near sensitive electronic components.

• Remote Signaling: Effective for long-distance signaling where the shield prevents the "antenna effect" of picking up stray electrical noise.

Conductor Identification: Standard Power Color Code

• Conductor 1: Black

• Conductor 2: White

Technical Note: As a standard Type TC cable, this product is designed for installation in cable trays, conduits, or raceways. It does not carry the TC-ER (Exposed Run) rating, meaning it generally requires continuous support or raceway protection and cannot be run as an "exposed" cable between the tray and equipment without conduit. To ensure the shield works properly, terminate the drain wire to a clean ground at the source end only to avoid ground loops.
