Ideal for cable tray installation, wire ways,

open wiring, conduits, service entrance,
feeders, and branch circuits for permanent
installations.
Suitable for power lighting installations in
residential, commercial, and industrial
establishments. Temperature rating not to
exceed:
THHN/THWN: 90C dry and damp,600V
THHN/THWN: 75C wet or in oil, 600V
THWN-2: 90C dry, wet or in oil, 600V

Features
CT Rated Lead-Free THHN/THWN cables
are insulated with special PVC formulation
that makes it more flame retardant than
ordinary THHN cables.
More tolerant to heat with its better flameretardant PVC.
The insulation is made of materials that do
not contain lead as stabilizer making it
Environment Friendly.
Its nylon jacket offers mechanical protection
and resistance to petroleum by-products,
chemical reagents, and oils. It is also
abrasion-resistant, allows higher gliding and
greater ease in installation. Its slippery
property allows easier pulling when stripping.
Available in black, white, red, blue, green,
and yellow colors.
