ICEA S-73-532 XHHW-2 Unscreened Control Cable 600V
ICEA S-73-532 referenced XHHW-2 Unscreened Control Cable is a 600V multicore control cable using bare annealed copper conductors, flame-retardant XLPE insulation and a black special-PVC outer sheath. This page focuses on the cable as a multiconductor control-cable construction rather than on only the XHHW-2 insulation designation or tray installation category.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The product is built around XLPE-insulated copper conductors assembled into an unscreened multicore cable with an overall special-PVC sheath. The source data lists 10 AWG and 12 AWG versions with scheduled core counts extending to 50 cores, making the product suitable for control systems that need many circuits within one overall cable.
For the ICEA S-73-532 / NEMA WC 57 landing page, the most relevant technical themes are multiconductor control-cable construction, materials, testing and engineering selection. The source brochure does not state a specific core-identification method, so core colours or numbering should be confirmed to the project requirement rather than inferred.

From Production to Delivery
From raw material preparation to final shipmen, every stage is caretuly controled to ensure consistent conductor quality, reliable pertormance,and sae delivery. Our roduction,
inspection, packaging, and logistics processes are managed in accordance with applicable standards and project requirements.
Production
Bare annealed copper conductors are insulated with flame-retardant XLPE, assembled into the required multicore construction, provided with the listed binder/ripcord arrangement and finished with the black special-PVC outer sheath.
Inspection
Inspection focuses on conductor condition, XLPE insulation thickness, sheath thickness, overall diameter, cable weight, electrical performance and consistency with the approved product schedule.
Packaging
Finished cable is wound on suitable reels or drums according to cable size, weight and ordered length. Product identification can include standard reference, AWG size, core count, length and project reference.
Shipping
Before shipment, cable identification, packing and requested technical documentation are checked against the order. Project-specific inspection or approval documents should be confirmed before production.
Frequently Asked Questions
What products do you supply for the power cable industry?
We provide a wide range of cable materials and electrical products, including aluminum conductors, aluminum rods, aluminum wires, overhead conductors, medium and low voltage power cables, cable insulation materials, filling materials, shielding materials, and cable manufacturing consumables.We provide customized solutions according to different cable manufacturing requirements.
Does this brochure specify an ICEA core-colour scheme?
No. The source brochure does not state a core-identification sequence or numbering system. For a project that requires a specific ICEA or customer identification scheme, confirm it before quotation and production.
When should I choose the unscreened construction?
Use the unscreened construction when the control system does not require an overall metallic screen. If the route is exposed to significant electrical interference or the specification calls for shielding, a screened control-cable design should be evaluated.
Is the listed ampacity enough for final cable sizing?
No. It is useful product data, but final sizing should also consider installation conditions, electrical-code rules, ambient temperature and any required derating. The project electrical design remains the final basis.
What technical documents should be requested for an ICEA-based project?
Specify the required edition, construction schedule, test reports, inspection documents and any customer-specific core identification or marking. If witnessed testing or approval submittals are required, include those requirements before order confirmation.
What information should I provide for quotation?
Provide AWG size, core count, cable length, installation environment, screened/unscreened requirement, core-identification requirement, reel length and the applicable ICEA/NEMA documentation package.
