"14/4 Shielded VFD Cable is a specialized, 600V TC-ER / 1000V Type Motor Supply rated solution engineered to bridge the gap between Variable Frequency Drives and industrial motors. While standard power cables often fail in demanding VFD environments, this heavy-duty cable utilizes dual-layer shielding (aluminum foil and tinned copper braid) along with moisture-resistant XLPE insulation to suppress EMI/RFI noise, handle high-voltage spikes, and protect motor longevity. Encased in a rugged, direct burial rated PVC jacket, it is built to withstand sunlight, oil, and chemicals in the harshest exposed environments"
Standard THHN wire easily fails under high-frequency voltage spikes (reflected wave phenomenon) and bleeds electrical noise into nearby control circuits. This VFD cable is engineered to eliminate these failures entirely:
Advanced EMI/RFI Shielding: Features a high-performance aluminum polyester foil shield plus an 85% tinned copper braid to trap and ground high-frequency noise.
4-Conductor Redundancy: The four-conductor design provides a dedicated ground path that is significantly more effective than three-conductor variants at reducing EMI in the event of system component failures.
Exposed Run (TC-ER) Rated: Certified for direct-run installation from tray to motor without the high labor costs of installing rigid conduit (per UL 1277).
Extreme Durability & Direct Burial: The heavy-duty PVC outer jacket is specifically engineered to resist sunlight, moisture, oil, abrasion, and chemicals, making it ideal for direct burial or wet industrial environments.
Application: Variable Frequency Drive motor connections, industrial automation, conveyors, pumps, and processing equipment.
Voltage Rating: 600 Volts (UL Type TC-ER) / 1000 Volts (UL Flexible Motor Supply).
UL Listings: UL 1277 (Type TC-ER), UL Type XHHW-2, UL Flexible Motor Supply.
Conductor Material: Stranded soft drawn tinned copper (14 AWG, 41 strands).
Ground / Drain Wire: Stranded soft drawn tinned copper (14 AWG).
Insulation: Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE).
Shielding: Aluminum polyester foil tape and 85% coverage tinned copper braid.
Jacket Material: Premium PVC (Black, sunlight, moisture, oil, and abrasion resistant).
Temperature Rating: -40°C to 90°C.
Cable Outer Diameter: 0.43 inches (11.0 mm).
Compliance Standards: CSA FT-4 vertical tray flame test; C(UL) CIC-TC per CSA C22.2 No. 239 & 230; Meets IEEE 1202/UL 1685 (70,000 BTU) & ICEA T-29-520 (210,000 BTU) flame tests; Class I Division II Hazardous Location suitable; RoHS II & REACH compliant.
Precision Conveyor Systems: Powering small industrial motors where suppressing EMI is vital to prevent interference with optical sensors and PLCs.
Commercial HVAC Fans & Pumps: Ensuring clean power delivery for variable speed fans and precision pumping stations in commercial buildings.
Automated Packaging Machinery: Ideal for the high-frequency switching requirements of robotics and automated sorting equipment.
Food & Beverage Processing: Handling the motor leads in wash-down areas where moisture and chemical resistance are non-negotiable.

This heavy-duty shielded 14/4 VFD cable is engineered to solve critical electrical and mechanical challenges across demanding industrial and automation environments:
Variable frequency drives can generate harmful common-mode voltages that discharge through motor bearings, causing premature failure. Utilizing this 4-conductor shielded cable on smaller fractional HP motors properly drains these destructive high-frequency currents, extending motor lifespan.
In high-speed packaging and sorting facilities, the high-frequency switching of VFDs acts as an antenna, disrupting nearby low-voltage sensor lines and PLC control loops. The dual-layer foil and tinned copper braid shielding in this cable traps and grounds electromagnetic interference (EMI), preventing costly automation downtime.
Under NEC regulations, standard building wire requires expensive rigid conduit runs. Because this VFD cable is UL 1277 Type TC-ER (Exposed Run) rated, contractors can route it directly from the cable tray to the motor housing without conduit, drastically reducing labor and material costs.
Exposed to frequent high-pressure water, steam, and sanitation chemicals, standard motor cables quickly degrade. The oil-, moisture-, and chemical-resistant PVC jacket on this cable ensures long-term insulation integrity in harsh wash-down bays and outdoor pump stations.
⚠️ Application & Safety NoteThe scenarios described above are a few common industrial use cases. Because project requirements, motor specs, and local electrical codes vary, please consult with a licensed electrical engineer or certified industrial contractor to verify compatibility and code compliance before purchasing and installing these materials.

VFD Cable is an industrial-grade cable specifically designed for Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) motor systems, automation, and industrial control networks. It's engineered to deliver reliable power up to 1000V while protecting against electrical noise and voltage spikes, which are common in VFD applications.
Shielded VFD cable is crucial because Variable Frequency Drives generate high-frequency voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) that can degrade motor insulation, cause bearing damage, and interfere with nearby sensitive equipment like PLCs and sensors. This cable's advanced shielding and robust insulation mitigate these issues, ensuring stable operation, protecting expensive motors, and extending system lifespan.
This VFD cable features advanced noise-canceling dual shielding, consisting of an aluminum polyester foil shield and an 85% tinned copper braid. This dual-layer design effectively traps and grounds high-frequency noise, preventing it from radiating as EMI/RFI and interfering with other control circuits or sensitive equipment.
TC-ER stands for Tray Cable - Exposed Run. This rating means the cable is certified for direct-run installation from a cable tray to the motor without needing to be enclosed in rigid conduit. This simplifies installation and can significantly reduce labor costs in many industrial settings.
Yes, this VFD cable is designed for extreme durability and is direct burial rated. Its heavy-duty PVC outer jacket is specifically engineered to resist sunlight, moisture, oil, abrasion, and chemicals, making it ideal for use in wet industrial environments or for direct burial applications.
This cable is widely used in applications requiring precise motor control and noise suppression. Common uses include:
This 14 AWG 4C Shielded VFD Cable has a dual voltage rating:
The Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation used in this cable is a thermoset material known for its superior thermal and electrical properties, including high dielectric strength. It provides excellent resistance to crushing, heat, and electrical stress, making it highly durable and reliable for harsh, exposed industrial environments where standard insulation might fail.
