UL 1277 CU PE/PVC Shielded PVC Jacket Control Cable 600V
UL 1277 CU PE/PVC Shielded PVC Jacket Control Cable is a 600V multi-conductor industrial control cable with Class B compressed bare-copper conductors, dual-layer polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride (PE/PVC) insulation, a 5 mil tape shield and a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer jacket. It is intended for wet and dry industrial control circuits requiring tray-cable construction and an overall shielding layer.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The cable uses 7-strand Class B compressed bare-copper conductors, 20 mil PE plus 10 mil PVC insulation, a 5 mil tape shield and a PVC overall jacket. Polypropylene filler is used on cables with five or fewer conductors, while cables with more than five conductors use a polyester flat-thread binder tape. A rip cord is included for easier jacket removal.
The supplied product schedule lists 600V service in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial and messenger-supported aerial routes. It states maximum conductor temperatures of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload and 250°C for short-circuit conditions. Exact certification marks, flame-test designations and project-specific cable markings should be confirmed for the ordered construction.

WHY 5 MIL TAPE SHIELDING?
The defining product feature in this version is the 5 mil tape shield applied over the assembled insulated conductors. The shield provides an overall metallic barrier for control circuits where interference control is required, while the PVC jacket protects the completed cable construction.
Shield continuity, grounding, bonding and termination details depend on the project wiring method and equipment design. State the required shield construction and termination practice in the inquiry, and confirm the exact certification, test documents and cable marking before approval.

Request the Complete Data Sheet
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
Class B compressed bare-copper conductors are prepared, insulated with 20 mil PE and 10 mil PVC, assembled with polypropylene filler or polyester binder according to the number of conductors, shielded with the specified 5 mil tape, fitted with the rip cord and finished with the PVC jacket.
Inspection
Inspection focuses on conductor construction, PE/PVC insulation and jacket thickness, tape-shield construction and continuity, overall diameter, conductor and cable weight, DC/AC resistance, bending-radius data, cable marking and project-specified test documentation.
Packaging
Finished cable is wound on reels or drums suitable for its diameter, weight and ordered length. Product identification can include conductor size, core count, standard reference, length and project number.
Shipping
Before shipment, cable marking, packing, inspection records and requested standard/test documents are checked against the order and project approval requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the practical difference between this shielded cable and the unshielded PE/PVC version?
This version adds a 5 mil tape shield over the assembled insulated conductors. The unshielded PE/PVC version omits that metallic shielding layer. Select the shielded construction when the project requires an overall screen and confirm its grounding and termination method with the system designer.
What does the 5 mil tape shield mean?
The source construction identifies a 5 mil tape shield. The catalogue does not provide a shielding-effectiveness value, coverage percentage or detailed alloy description, so those properties should be confirmed in the technical offer when required by the project.
How should the shield be grounded and terminated?
Shield grounding and termination depend on the control system, noise environment, equipment manufacturer and project wiring rules. Define single-point or multi-point bonding, gland/connector requirements and shield continuity before production and installation.
How should the 60°C, 75°C and 90°C ampacity columns be used?
Use the column permitted by the project conductor/termination temperature rating, then apply code-required derating for ambient temperature, grouping and installation conditions. The table values are source product data and are not a substitute for the governing electrical-code calculation.
Which conductor sizes are included in the published schedule?
The supplied product schedule lists 14, 12 and 10 AWG conductors. Select the required conductor size and core count only from the configurations shown in the technical table, or request engineering confirmation for a size not listed.
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.
