Frequently Asked Questions
What is UL 13 cable used for?
UL 13 cable is used for Class 2 power-limited circuits, including remote control, signaling, and communication systems in high-temperature HVAC control, security, fire alarm, and building automation applications.
What is a Class 2 power-limited circuit?
A Class 2 circuit is a power-limited circuit defined in UL safety standards, commonly used for remote control, signaling, and low-voltage communication applications, where limited power reduces the risk of fire and electric shock.
What makes UL 13 cable suitable for plenum spaces?
UL 13 cable is designed to meet the highest safety standards for air-handling spaces. It is NFPA 262/UL 910 compliant, making it suitable for installation in plenum environments where standard cable jacketing does not meet fire and smoke safety requirements.
What temperature and voltage rating does UL 13 cable carry?
UL 13 cable is rated for continuous operation up to 200°C and 300V.
What insulation and jacket material does UL 13 cable use?
UL 13 cable uses FEP insulation and an FEP outer sheath, offering extreme chemical resistance and strong dielectric performance.
What cable sizes are available?
UL 13 cable is available in a comprehensive range from 24 AWG and larger.
