CMC-0587-2-9

Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire) are part of a larger class of cables which are used in a variety of applications ranging from low-power signals, to electrical power distribution, to high-frequency transmission lines. CMC-0587-2-9 is one such type of Single Conductor Cable, and is most commonly used for industrial and commercial applications.

Some of the most common applications of Single Conductor Cables, like CMC-0587-2-9, include power and control circuits, lighting circuits, signal circuits, and instrumentation wiring. They are also used for in-plant wiring of motors light switches, and various other heavy duty electrical components. In addition, CMC-0587-2-9 can be used in hazardous locations, such as environments with combustible dust or flammable liquids.

CMC-0587-2-9 is a UL 2464-105°C listed, flame retardant shielded jacket cable, and is rated for both 300V and 600V applications. It is constructed of a stranded tinned copper conductor with a flame-retardant thermoplastic insulation, as well as a drain wire for wire-shield applications. The outer PVC jacket is reinforced with rayon braid with internal ground conductors, and provides excellent protection to the conductor insulation in heavy-duty applications.

The working principle of CMC-0587-2-9 is relatively simple. The stranded tinned copper conductor provides a reliable and uninterrupted path for electricity to travel through, thereby ensuring that the connection is reliable and safe. The flame retardant thermoplastic insulation, as well as the PVC compounds used in the jacket, serve to minimize the risk of electrical shock and fire hazards. The conductors are also covered with a clear, nylon covering for additional protection from abrasion and environmental stress. Additionally, the drain wire prevents the formation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) which could interfere with the performance of the wire itself.

In summary, Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire) play an important role in both industrial and commercial applications. CMC-0587-2-9 is one such type of wire that has been designed specifically for use in hazardous locations, and is capable of reliably and safely carrying power in both 300V and 600V applications. It is constructed with a stranded tinned copper conductor, flame retardant thermoplastic insulation, and a reinforced PVC jacket. The principle of its working is quite straightforward; the conductors are allowed to safely carry electricity through its path while the insulation and jacket help to minimize the risk of electrical and fire hazards.
