CIR-2

CIR-2 is ideal for oil patch applications where you need a crush & impact rated cable but don't want to mess with Type MC. CIR-2 cables comply with the requirements for hazardous location cables required by UL 2225. This highly robust cable offers significant advantages over Type MC:

• Highly flexible for easier installation and can also be reused during an upgrade or retrofit.
• Insulated with GEXOL®
• Smaller bend radius (up to 40% smaller) and Reduced tray fill (up to 35% less) compared to Type MC
• Gas & vapor tight – impervious to water and air
• Rated TC-ER-HL

• UL Listed as TC-ER-HL (E123629): Suitable for Class 1, Div 1 and Zone 1 environments
• UL Listed as Type TC-ER: Suitable for use in Class I, Div 2 and Zone 2 environments
• Severe cold durability:
   Exceeds CSA cold bend/cold impact (-40°C/-35°F). Brittlepoint as per ASTM D 7646-07 exceeds -65°C for Jacket and -75°C for insulation n 90°C temperature rating
• Flame Retardant – IEEE 1202

RETURN TO DOWNSTREAM HOMEPAGE

• CIR does not expose cable installers to the sharp metal armor edges created during Type MC cable prep.
• The only tool required to prep CIR is a knife, whereas Type MC requires an expensive box of tools and a multi-step procedure for jacket removal
• CIR’s jacket and insulaton are easy to strip and its flexibility makes it easier to handle.
• Glands for CIR-2 cables cost up to 50% LESS than those for Type MC.
• CIR-2 has a lower total installed cost.
  Up to 38% LESS!
