Description

Scope

This specification covers Irrigation Cable with soft annealed stranded copper conductors insulated with polyethylene (PE). The insulated conductors are cabled together with a PVC inner jacket, and an aluminum shield bonded to a PE outer jacket to provide superior mechanical strength and moisture resistance. The cable conforms to UL Standard 1263.UL File No. E325277.

Application

Irrigation Cable is designed for electric motor–driven irrigation systems, including agricultural irrigation equipment, sprinkler systems, and valve control wiring. It is rated for 75°C operation and permitted for 600-volt applications. Suitable for outdoor, underground, and wet locations.
