HELUKABEL Unveils New Control Cable at the Americas' Largest Manufacturing Show

HELUKABEL, one of the world's leading cable manufacturers,will unveil its newest control cable
to join the TRAYCONTROL family at the 2014 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) being held September 8–13 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.

The TRAYCONTROL 550 TPE is a flexible, oil-resistant control cable with blue-or red-colored
conductors that is approved for open, unprotected installation in cable trays from power
sources/control units to the machine. The TRAYCONTROL 550 TPE was developed to help offset the
need for PUR cables in tray applications. The specially blended TPE has been designed to
perform as well as standard PUR cables with the added benefit of being able to transition from cable trays to free air, an installation method not permitted for PUR cables.

The special combination of TC-ER, PLTC-ER and ITC-ER allows this cable to be used as a
connecting cable for AC, DC or control wiring in accordance with NFPA 79 Edition 2007. Its
outstanding oil resistance (Oil Res I & II) guarantees a long service life for machine tools in
industrial applications located in dry, damp and wet environments such as the automotive, food and beverage industries, or other various production lines found in harsh locations.

Additional TRAYCONTROL 550 TPE specifications:
Temperature Range:-40°C to +105°C (flexing applications)

Nominal Voltage:TC–600V / AWM & WTTC–1000V

Min. Bending Radius:7.5X the cable O.D.

Approvals:UL–TC-ER, PLTC-ER, ITC-ER, MTW, NFPA 79, WTTC 1000V, DP-1,Oil Res I & II, 90ºC dry/75ºC wet, Class 1 Div. 2 per NEC Art 336, 392, 501, & crush impact test in accordance with UL 1277 / CSA–c(UL) CIC-TC FT4, CSA AWM I/II A/B FT4
